They've Got the Firepower
Irwin Schiff doesn't like the federal income tax:
Schiff contends that the federal tax code doesn't require taxpayers to pay income tax. He disputes the government's definition of income, and argues that the Internal Revenue Service has no authority to seize property.He has stood staunchly by his convictions but perhaps will soon acknowledge the facts:
Anti-tax crusader Irwin Schiff and an associate were found guilty Monday of charges including conspiracy, tax evasion and tax fraud.The authority of the irs, like all extortionists, comes from the barrel of a gun. If you do not play by their rules you get screwed. There is nothing voluntary about it.
Even in the land of the free.
Comments
I worked for the IRS for a bit after college. Don't challenge them, you have a losing hand if they decide to call. No matter what cards you have.
