Congratulations. You just excluded everyone who pays taxes from the jury pool for any tax case. After all, they have a financial interest in lower taxes.

Perhaps it says something of the tax system if everyone is willing to nullify tax laws.

I don't know about you but I would never convict somebody for non-payment of taxes. That would be akin to punishing somebody for refusing to hand over their wallet to a thief.

If everyone were logical, you'd be correct. But alas, I know a large number of people here inside the Beltway who pay taxes through the nose, and actually don't want their taxes to be lowered! I believe it's a mental condition, but that's an entirely different issue from the one discussed here.
