www.GiveMeLiberty.org -- Fox TV News interviews tax protester Irwin Schiff. Watch as famous NY tax attorney is unable to cite any law requiring average Americans for file or pay. Schiff's website is www.paynoincometax.com.
I have often wondered what they would do if people started refusing to pay taxes en masse. Even if just 5% of Americans did so, what are they going to do throw 15 million people in jail?
Cites Federal Statute - "applicable to the case, defines the income of 'a taxable person' as including 'gains, profits, and income derived from ... sales, or dealings in property, whether real or personal, growing out of the ownership or use of or interest in real or personal property ... or gains or profits and income derived from any source whatever.'
"As to the alleged inequality of operation between mining corporations and others, it is of course true that the revenues derived from the working of mines result to some extent in the exhaustion of the capital. But the same is true of the earnings of the human brain and hand when unaided by capital, yet such earnings are commonly dealt with in legislation as income."
Irwin Schiff is currently serving 12 years in jail. He won't make it through his sentence because of his age. While I do agree with a lot of the premises of Mr. Schiff, it's difficult to fight, essentially, a full scale military (local police, state police, IRS, F.B.I.,....and the list goes on).
How is that jail cell, Irwin?

You do know that he claimed 'mental defect' as a defense at his trial?
