Im sure there are many Americans that think that they shouldnt have to support certain things that the government does with their money - and some of them win their cases - and some lose - like I said - its a matter of what each individual decides to do with their own life - NOT what you decide is best for every person inthe country just because its your opinion

YOU made the remark that it is about "risk vs reward" - thats completely silly by any measure. it is not my opinion that its a poor risk... its a simple statement of fact. of course anyone is free to roll the dice and see what happens. i don't care if people do. that doesn't have any bearing on teh fact that the arguments themselves are old and those that use them go to prison all the time. the first car i ever bought was from a guy who used all these same arguments. i bought the car for a fraction of its worth because he was forced to liquidate everything he owned to pay his taxes and penalties and still went to prison.
i am not arguing that no one has ever beat the federal government. that doesn't make it a good risk just because a person has an issue with authority and is totally detached from reality. your chance of beating them for blatent tax evasion i would imagine are almost zero... and the arguments used are old, been to court many times, been upheld many times etc etc. its not like its something new.
