Crazy then, crazy now

Now it's a rich dentist in Florida who's saying she doesn't have to pay taxes because... she isn't a US citizen. Apparently getting a valid passport is simply a bureaucratic convenience and doesn't actually indicate citizenship. Also, writing "all rights reserved" on legal documents means you don't have to agree to the stipulations indicated therein.

This is eye of newt and toe of frog jurisprudence. The courts dispensed with this a long time ago. They've little tolerance for lawyers attempting to pull stunts of this sort, and just about none for laymen.

Bonus: her husband, who previously represented her in similar cases, is not representing her in this case because he has been banned from the federal courthouse.

No respect or sympathy for these people. None whatsoever.

Yay my hometown Lakeland! I would like to point out in public that she is not my dentist. My dentist probably pays taxes. And is not crazy. People who don't believe they have to pay taxes seem to be concentrated in the South. And Texas. Curious.
