Almost none of the tax protester arguments go against the government because most are simply frivolous on their face.

While that is true, Alan Keyes has never made a single one of their arguments.

I think there are better options such as a consumption tax, but the bottom line is I will likely pay a somewhat similar amount of taxes, no matter how it is collected.

When it comes to taxes, the "how" is even more important than the "how much," if you care about liberty.

How did Keyes get into this discussion?

There are many good reasons for abandoning the income tax and going to a consumption tax, but liberty has never entered my mind as one of them. Almost every law in the Nation involves a curtailment of some type of liberty. That is why they are called laws.
