Wesley Snipes should go to jail

Just like his fellow "tax protester" co-defendants.

Axioms:
1) The IRS is a legitimate government agency.
2) There isn't any way of claiming you aren't a US citizen unless you're a citizen somewhere else.
3) If you're within their territorial boundaries, US federal District Courts do have jurisdiction to prosecute you.

If you disagree with any of these things, that's okay, but if you defy any of them, you're going to jail. This becomes a challenge to federal sovereign power, and, well, you lose.
