That couple obviously missed out Jesus saying “give to Ceasar what is Ceasar’s and to God what is God’s” in Matthew 22:15-22

“They also claimed that they were not US citizens, that they no longer recognized US law (only God’s law)”

Citizen’s or not, while living here they’re subject to the same laws and regulations as citizens–just as if I (A US Citizen) were to move to the UK. I’d then be subject to laws and regulations of the UK, INCLUDING tax laws

Henry David Thoreau refused to pay taxes because of the the Mexican-American war and slavery.

Also New Hampshire doesn’t have an income tax but the US does (which is legal by the way, due to the 16th amendment)

And I don’t think taxes should be too high, but if we stop paying them completely, our nation collapses and we are sitting ducks for the terrorists.

People who still don’t think paying taxes is at threat of gunpoint need to talk to the Browns. How much of your money will ever be enough? This country is founded on people who wanted freedom from oppressive taxation!

SUPPORT THE FAIR TAX and liberate yourselves. This tax reality is NOT the only practical option.

The FAIR TAX CAN SAVE OUR ECONOMY AND RESTORE AUTONOMY to individuals, and our nation. Find out the facts, and then decide for yourself.

@Jason- Thank God our taxes are “voluntary” and not really taxes but “contributions” to the great waste machine.
What would happen if EVERYONE refused to pay their taxes? The IRS Nazis wouldn’t have the money to enforce the theft, there isn’t enough jail space for all and, with any luck, the feds would shrivel up and die.

In all fairness the 861 argument does hold weight. Is anybody aware that the Supreme Court found income taxes unconstitutional? A long, long time ago…but nevertheless, my time/work is mine and mine alone and I shouldn’t have to pay to work. I do, however, pay income taxes because jail, the IRS, and the Government all scare the bejeezus outta me!

Leona Helmsely didn’t protest her taxes, she just refused paying them, saying that “only the little people pay taxes”. She was just a simple tax cheat.
