Ah. The loss of liberty through laziness. That's a pretty common affliction throughout history...

Yes, those chains are just dragging me down! But I'm sure you have really done much to move the Fair Tax or some other such proposal along? Most of the bellyachers here on FR that complain the loudest about an issue, whether it is taxes, cigarette bans, Terri Schiavo, etc, have done absolutely nothing about the issue...but bellyache.

But I'll tell you what. If you believe the argument in your post, then do not file a return this year. Do not pay any taxes, and when they come for you, claim it is simply a violation of your 5th Amendment rights.

And keep us posted!

You're now being dishonest, since neither I, nor the writer of the article, argued any such thing.

I've been a vocal proponent for the elimination of the federal income tax for over fifteen years, all over the country. And, as an aside, I spent many weeks in FL doing all I could to try and save the life of Terri Schiavo from her judicial executioners.
