Handy dandy guide to tax idiots
A helpful legal type has complied a detailed compendium of bogus legal arguments commonly used by tax evaders, ahem, "protesters," complete with case law showing how the arguments have been rejected.
We've got nonsense ranging from the denial of US citizenship all the way to contesting jurisdiction because there is a fringe on the flag in the courtroom. And they're all counter by relevant legal decisions on the subject, most of which simply reject the nonsense out of hand.
This stuff is legal garlic for militia-type vampires.
A wacky fundamentalist Kent Hovind, went to jail recently for massive tax evasion, and he argued (among other things) that his employees didn't work for him, but for God (and who can tax God?) and that he resided in not the state of Florida, but the soveriegn body politic of Florida. And also that he was a legal sojourner.
Plus, he's nuts. And seems like a jerk.
