I mentioned this below but I don't want it to get overlooked. For quick refutations of the major contentions of the bogus tax-protester movement, see this website. It's by a professor at the George Washington University Law School. He's apparently not a libertarian or anti-tax per se, but he exposes the baseless assertions made by people who prey on the gullible among libertarians.

A useful quote from the site:
ReplyDelete"The system can function only if most people voluntarily comply with their duty to pay. If everyone in the country simultaneously stopped complying with the tax laws, the IRS would be helpless."
The objective then is to convince a significant portion of 100 million households to stop complying :-)
Bingo! As Étienne de la Boetie long ago pointed out, the ruled always outnumber the rulers.
