Concerning your article on January 18, 2007 entitled “THIS MAN NEEDS TO GET OUT MORE”. In it you state the law that requires Americans to pay an income tax on their labor to be U.S. Code Title 26, Section 1. Before the article there is a disclaimer stating, “The items below are informational only and are not meant as tax advice.” That is very good advice in itself if you truly believe what you wrote in your article. You evidently have no education whatsoever in tax law. You sir, are a fool.

Don't tell anybody!

Tom must be a "Tax Honesty" adherent, one of the folks that believes that there is "no law" requiring people to pay tax. No matter how many of their fellow travelers get imprisoned and fined under the law they insist doesn't exist, they persist.

Yes, I do find the unanimous opinion of the U.S. Courts more persuasive than that of jailbirds like Irwin Schiff. I believe that when Title 26, Section 1 says "There is hereby imposed...a tax," a tax is imposed.

Foolish? Not so foolish as following advice that lets you live the Irwin Schiff lifestyle.

UPDATE: More airtight reasoning from correspondent Rosie:

I feel sorry that you that you wrote that article demonstrating how clueless you are. In the Articles of Confederation which was a treaty that was never rescinded, it gives all individuals sovereignty. This is what the Browns are talking about when they speak of government agents as "fictions". Had you any education or motivation to read up on things rather than go by popular and false belief, you might learn a thing or two. The Browns are in the right and you have a fraud of a profession. Also, you failed to mention "income" tax laws. You just said tax laws in your article. The Browns do pay lawful taxes. Be more specific next time if you're going to write articles, or better, get another job because you are no one to be writing such ridiculous statements. Get a life.

Yes, that darn Constitutional Convention screwed up everything. Next time I get my hands on a quarter, I'll need to remember that George Washington was the first "fictional" president.
