There is no law to be changed. They refused to show those two people holed up in New Hampshire the law; ergo, what is enforced against those poor people and Irwin Schiff; etc., is the color of law. Illegal actions with the appearance of legality.
The reason Whitey Harrel was aqcuitted see free republic article was because the government refused to show that statutes where Harrell was required to file and pay income taxes. (excerpt from the link) Interestingly, even after the specifc request of the jury, neither the state or the court ever did produce any statute showing Harrel had any obligation. "We don't have anything to say at this time other than Mr. Harrell was very lucky and we will be watching his activities carefully," stated an assistant State's Attorney who asked not to be identified
