SHOW ME THE MONEY

July 24, 2007

"Show me the law" is a rallying cry of the tax protest set. In fact, some, like barricaded tax resister Ed Brown, say that they'll comply meekly if someone would just show them the law requiring them to pay taxes. Mr. Brown has taken it a step further: he says he'll pay $1 million dollars to the first person "who will demonstrate him the law requiring him to pay federal taxes."

As we did that some time ago, we assume that the check is in the mail. I fear, though, that we may be in line behind the IRS for Mr. Brown's millions, between his back taxes, fines, and so on. That makes Mr. Brown, in technical terms, a "turnip," as in "you can't get blood out of a turnip." I'll not spend my $1 million just yet.
