Kenneth Heath, a Michigan engineer, read Irwin Schiff's book and decided he didn't need to pay taxes. When the IRS came after him, he turned to American Rights Litigators and Guiding Light of God Ministries -- outfits run by Eddie Kahn, who also served as Wesley Snipes' de-taxing advocate. Like Mr. Snipes, he tried to buy off the IRS with worthless "bills of exchange."
And like Mr. Snipes, he's going to federal prison. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld his 21-month sentence yesterday.
