But, if we don't pay our taxes, how will the 30 million or so illegal invaders survive in America?
Most importantly, how will our fat, bloated politicians fund their lifestyles?

As much as I agree with them, begging for martyrdom is more than just a little stupid.

...From behind the 8-inch concrete walls of their 110-acre hilltop compound...Don't you just love the media's use of imflammatory adjectives?
Isn't the width of a standard concrete block about 8 inches?
So, I guess I live in a "compound" also. Come and get me coppers!!

Good grief, not this again.
They didn't pay their taxes. They got caught. They went on trial. They claimed the 16th Amendment was not ratified, so they didn't owe their taxes. Multiple courts have rejected their argument. Lo and behold, they got convicted. They got sentenced to 5+ years in prison.
Now, they've barricaded themselves into their compound and are claiming they'll shoot anyone who tries to take them into custody. Real stable people.
While many folks around here (including me) don't like paying taxes and think our government wastes most of our tax money, this is NOT the case you want to use to prove your point. Crackpots like this who want to be martyrs are not the best example of how wasteful our government is or how we need tax reform. Supporting these folks just makes it look like tax reformers will support any crackpot that comes along.

Is the media suggesting a “show down”? Waco, IMO, would have ended a lot differently, if we had waited them out.

They should renounce their citizenships, and immediately apply for Z visas. Their taxes are forgiven, and they go on as if nothing ever happened.

There you go. There is always a way out if you look hard enough for it.

They are nutcases,
but they do illustrate that anything the government does is backed by the
INHERENT THREAT OF DEADLY FORCE.
Everyone needs to keep this fact foremost in their minds.

They’re using the threat of deadly force as well.

No deadly force will be used if the government officials don’t attempt to take their property or liberty.
But, that’s what government exists for.

Looks to me like they picked the wrong hill to die on.

Just stick up a sign that says "Plainfield CT Prison" and put a couple cops on lawn chairs out there for the next decade.
They built a nice prison for themselves. Let 'em enjoy it.
They'll come out when they run out of food.
Or not.

All authorities have to do is wait them out. They will have to come out eventually and they will no doubt run out of food and water. I hope the authorities will be patient and not make this another Waco that was under clintin and reno.

They should be locked up. Nobody can get on illegals for breaking the law and say these folks should get off scot-free. Should the tax system be reformed? Yes but breaking the law isn’t the way to do it. These idiots are discrediting a lot of legitimate tax activists.

They are nutcases, but they do illustrate that anything the government does is backed by the INHERENT THREAT OF DEADLY FORCE. Everyone needs to keep this fact foremost in their minds. That's a very important fact. You could reduce it to this: Government is force.
So, when creating legislation, people should ask themselves: "What should a free people be forced to do or to not do?"
That list should be pretty short, IMO.

Of course it does and I support that function of government since I'm not an anarchist. If these people kill a policeman trying to do his duty they're cop-killers.
