Imagine if there was a website that celebrated every time a policeman was murdered. The police would find that website very offensive. (IAN Editor comment: We always celebrate when a Cop is arrested and convicted and we also pray that every IRS agent eventually ends up in prison as traitors to liberty and the Constitution.)
I’m very offended by the quatloos website. That website celebrates whenever a “tax protester” is convicted. It’s pretty severe pro-State trolling.
I find the quatloos website offensive exactly the same way that the police would be offended by a website that celebrated police deaths. The quatloos website is celebrating economic terrorism. A person’s life is ruined by something that isn’t a crime according to natural law.
(I noticed that I’m getting good post topics reading the marcstevens.net forum. He recently had a debate with the quatloos website, regarding his “owning an IRS lawyer” tape. Just because an IRS agent couldn’t get his lies straight, doesn’t mean you’ll win in an unfair court.)
The users on the quatloos website are hardcore Statists. I suspect that most of them are policemen, bureaucrats, tax collectors, tax lawyers, or tax accountants. It’s very easy to be ignorant, when your livelihood depends on doing evil things.
The quatloos website does not seriously address the main issue, which is “All taxation is theft!” They focus on Supreme Court and appeals court decisions, that knock down the usual “tax protester” arguments. That’s missing the point. Such arguments assume the Supreme Court’s authority is legitimate.
It’s offensive to read court decisions regarding “tax protesters”. The pro-State trolling is obvious. It’s “cargo cult justice” and not real justice. They go through the motions of justice, while arriving at the predetermined conclusions.
When a “tax protester” loses in court, that doesn’t prove his arguments are wrong. It just proves how corrupt the State “justice” system is. Judges are pretty consistent in ruling against people who want freedom. Taxation is a key component of the State extortion racket.
If you use one of the standard “tax protester” arguments in court, you probably will lose. In fact, I wonder if undercover State police intentionally promote them, so it’s easy to identify stupid slaves who start rebelling. If you’re serious about freedom, you should work as an agorist. Unfortunately, that isn’t completely risk-free. It’s the best strategy I’ve seen, both for achieving freedom and for maximizing profit.
