And here comes the government. Just out today on the AP newswire is this article:
A former congressional candidate and treasurer of the Pennsylvania Libertarian Party has been arrested for evading $87,000 in federal income taxes.
Arthur L. Farnsworth, 42, had vowed on his Web site that he would “never file an individual federal income-tax return again.”Farnsworth, of West Rockhill Township, Bucks County, drew fewer than 4,000 votes on Tuesday in his losing bid for a seat in the House of Representatives.
A federal grand jury alleged that Farnsworth, an electrical engineer, received income totaling more than $221,000 in a three-year period, 1998-2000, but “willfully attempted to evade” his taxes.
Farnsworth failed to file any tax returns for the three years, failed to pay his taxes, and tried to conceal his income from the IRS by transferring assets to fraudulent trusts and hiding his cash in overseas bank accounts, the grand jury charged.
Farnsworth was jailed Friday to await a Monday bail hearing. If convicted of tax evasion, he could be jailed for at least a year and ordered to pay all back taxes.
IRS agents raided Farnsworth’s home nearly two years ago and confiscated his computers and business records.
It’s one thing to have principles and to stand up for them. Some people think all income taxation is theft and feel they are within their rights to refuse to pay it. Some even claim that the 16th Amendment was never ratified. That may be, but in the end, you have to be willing to face the consequences, namely that the government might come after you sooner or later.

Karl Marx would love the popular moves among politicians in various state governments and the federal government to ban so-called "junk" food in schools, and to "put healthy food in" convenience stores and on the tables of those they define as poor. It's a very elitist and arrogant mindset that promotes this ideology, and it needs to be addressed.
Ultimately, the war supporters in Congress prevailed in the vote on the resolution. Still, the vote was significant because it places every member of Congress on the record as supporting or not supporting the unconstitutional, costly, violent occupation of a country that never attacked us. This vote should serve as an important reminder to the American people of where their representatives really stand when it comes to policing the world, empire building, and war.

Here’s some other sites you can look at if you’re interested in the claims of those that income taxes are illegal and/or immoral:
http://www.taxableincome.net/
http://www.theft-by-deception.com/
http://www.givemeliberty.org/

Of course, be warned that if you decide to engage in such activities, the IRS will label you a “frivilous tax protester” and may take action against you for even suggesting the idea to others:

Wow, The 16th Amendment was never Radified proprerly, therefore it is Illegal, for our so-called Goverment, down on Crapital Hill, and not thats not a typo, its how things are. I suppose the KAM person has not seen FREEDOM to Fascism, by Aaron Russo, God Rest his Soul. But if you want REAL INFORMATION, check that website out, it has a Boatload of Info for ALL to SEE. Read Understand it, and Live it. Here let me give you a Quote fromone of our Founding Fourfather. Here check it out for yourself. Please take Action; do what is right!
WHEN THE PEOPLE FEAR THEIR GOVERNMENT THERE IS TYRANNY; WHEN THE GOVERNMENT FEARS THE PEOPLE, THERE IS LIBERTY!
~THOMAS JEFFERSON So what do ya-all think? I think its time to Keep Our Money, for ourselves. Really go to YOU TUBE, and check out all the things Aaron Russo, has to say, then go to Dr. Ron Pauls area in YOUTUBE, and whatch, then check out what there doing to one of thier own, Sheery Peel Jackson, who is missing because she has becoame an Emnemy to the State. And they don`t want the Truth to be told. Shes the former IRS Specail Agent who Busted Out the IRS for its Fraudulent doings. If you want to know more just drop me a line, And I will show you what the REAL-DEAL Is. Here if you like Video`s, here some to watch and learn from. The US vs. John Lennon, Who Killed the Electric Car, and Maxxed Out, and see what our Goverment is all about. And here to the KAM unit up top, Heres some books that can help you out.

Whem you get more Educated, you will have a Better understanding of whats REALLY GOING DOWN.
