From your attitude, I would suspect that:

a) you work for FedGov in some capacity; perhaps even the IRS;

b) you probably were a headquarters weenie in Saigon and not an operator out in the mud;

c) you LIKE lots of gubmint spending and programs; and

d) you don't mind having folks' pockets picked to fund whatever is near and dear to YOUR heart.

Someone who evades/avoids paying the taxman is merely keeping what he or she has earned. It had ZERO to do with killing cops, abortion doctors or anyone else, nor does it have anything to do with using the power of FedGov to ride roughshod over someone else's property rights. You pick some mighty poor examples, but then a fedgov REMF would be likely to do that, wouldn't he?

I notice something about you revolutionary types. If someone gives an argument you disagree with, you can only attack them, because of course they must have some collectivist motive.

As for your silly who are you determinations:

• a. I do not work for the Federal government. I have never worked for the IRS,
• b. I was with the 5th Special Forces, MACVSOG, FOB4 in Danang. I operated out of Laos. And you, sir?
• There is much government spending I do not like. I fight those measures I don't like through my elected representatives and organizations that do so. I do not disobey or ignore laws by wrapping myself in old Thomas Paine pronouncements.
• d. See response to c. above. One of the organizations I support is one that is chartered to eliminate the income tax as a source of revenue for the federal government.

  Problem is, when you take the revolutionary path as opposed to the elected representative path, you have placed yourself in those same groups who also believe they are right. By the way, your assertions about 'property rights' sounds like you forgot the 16th amendment. I think that's also part of our constitution...
