Joe Banister was a Certified Public Accountant who went to work for the IRS as a Special Agent of the Criminal Investigation Division, specializing in Fraud Detection as a fraud expert. Mr. Banister traveled frequently to Washington D.C. to debate the government representatives, about the legality of the Federal Income Tax. Mr. Banister will share the reasons that he quit the IRS after they had failed to show him any law that requires American citizens to file returns or pay income taxes. In addition, in 2004 the IRS criminally charged Mr. Banister with several "tax crimes" to put an end to whistle-blowing activities. However, the jury found Mr. Banister innocent of all charges. Come and hear how this living American hero of the people has stood up to the criminal organization known as the IRS. Please visit Mr. Banister's web site at www.freedomabovefortune.com
On August 27, 2008, the United States Tax Court ruled that Banister was liable for federal income taxes and penalties for failure to file his 2002 federal income tax return and report, as income, over $23,000 in a distribution from a retirement plan and other income.

The American founding fathers and our ancestors were willing to leave their families, willing to be tortured, shot, stabbed, poisoned, thrown in jail, thrown in prison, starve of hunger and willing to die for their rights and freedoms, for YOUR rights and freedoms. If they were willing to do all this in the name of Right and Freedom, maybe we today should reevaluate our current stance.
