And that's what all the courts have affirmed over and over again. It's the law of the land. Apparently, the feds _do_ have the ability to impose taxes on income. Anyone who says otherwise is incorrect, as these jail sentences demonstrate.

I admire civil disobedience, but that's not what most of the tax evader idiots are doing. Civil disobedience requires a public violation of the law, and a desire to be arrested for the violation. These evaders are privately flouting the law and only pretend.

Their arguments are bogus on their face, and the courts have demonstrated that again, and again. Under our Consitution, the Congress can lay any taxes they wish on citizens of this country. It's really, really simple.
