New Hampshire Tax Protesters Say the Bible Will Decide Their Fate
Browns Will Not Appeal Their Convictions on Tax Evasion Charges
The Browns, who had filed a notice of appeal, say, according to the Spectator, that they now have rejected "man's law" and will follow only what the Bible says. Ed Brown, quoted in the Spectator, said, "Only God knows the timeframe, and no matter how it ends, it will be good. It doesn't matter. If they do something to us, they'll make martyrs out of us."
The Browns, who haven't filed a federal tax return since 1995, are asking the government to show them a law that requires U.S. citizens to pay income taxes. "They have never done so, and the reason they have never done so is because no such law exists," said Elaine Brown.
The Browns appealed their case to the U. S. Supreme Court, but the Supreme court refused to hear them. During the trial which found the Browns guilty of tax evasion, the presiding judge, Steven McAuliffe, did not allow the Browns to argue whether or not the charges against them had a legal basis.
The couple, who have some property in West Lebanon, NH, were tricked into federal custody by federal agents and Lebanon police, who claimed that there was some problem at the property. The Browns have contended that the city should collect only the amount of money in taxes needed to run the city. According to the Spectator, Ed claims that he is not getting a good return on his taxes-only fire protection and having his road plowed.
Other than the poor return on their taxes, the Browns also object to paying money so that "public schools can teach 'communism and homosexuality,' according to the Spectator.
The Browns know that all they have to do to get rid of their tax problems and to avoid any possible harm from the government is to pay their taxes, but it's not that simple, say the Browns. "Nobody would be that stupid to get into this kind of pressure and anxiety every day," unless they really believed in what they were doing, said Mr. Brown. They've been sentenced to five years in prison. "Principle is very expensive," Elaine said, "In many ways, we're finding that out."

To you
In a free country with our Constitution, there can be no direct taxation of income. The American People are the most honest, patriotic and caring People in the world. They are not tax cheats. They are good People and in their hearts they know they don't owe this tax but they don't know why.
AMERICAN tax code FACTS
1. There Is No Law That Makes You, AMERCANS , Liable For An Income Tax
2. There is no law which requires you to file an income tax return for working in America

5. You volunteer when you pay income tax
6. You sign away your 5th Amendment rights against self-incrimination when you sign a tax return
7. Seven states have no state income tax Washington, Texas, Wyoming, South Dakota, Alaska, Nevada, Florida and Nevada

"Huh. Didn't Jesus say render to Cesear what is Cesear's?" Got news for ya, it ain't Cesar's. It's mine and I say he can't have it!
actually congress REPEALED the income tax on may 29th 1942 58 chapters at large section 210 page 234. the income tax is LEGAL "only" when the UNITED STATES ( notice i did not say the UNITED STATES OF AMMERICA i said "UNITED STATES" goes to WAR. AND THEN ONLY FOR A PERIOD OF TWO (2) YEARS OR UNTILL THE CESESSION OF HOSTILITIES WHICH EVER OCCURES FIRST. REMEMBER PRESIDENT BUSH GOT ON NATIONAL TELEVISION AND DECLARED THE WAR WAS OVER. IT IS NOW NOT EVEN CLASSIFIED AS A WAR. AND THAT WAS DONE YEARS AGO., AND WE ARE STILL OVER THERE. NUFF SAID
i never heard more mr cow poo poo, since i bothered to listen to bush for a minute... the redess of the government is simple. you ask them a question that they claim to have power over and they have to answer it; show them the law!
It looks like I'm attending another "Village Idiot Convention", as a reporter of course.
Here is my report;
"Jeff Musall" says: Hmmm...now other tax payers are going to have to pay for these misinformed malcontents room and board for five years...
Not true Mr. Village Idiot Convention Rep. Jeff, the taxpayers will not be paying. Ed and Elaine will be paying their own way working for $.25 an hour in the prison factories. But you are an exemplary village idiot for thinking so.
Sadly, we are going to have to ask "NH Matt" to leave. He was given a chance, but alas is not Village Idiot material. Just to smart. Sorry.
Next up we have "Kristina B." Kristina is a fine Village Idiot, wanting nothing more than to give to Caesar what is Caesars. She must think Caesar is the IRS agent handling the Brown's account. Village Idiot Kristina, your stock is rising!
And now let's hear from the "Affable Dr. Jones", who believes that we citizens are the "property" of the Federal
Hmmm...now other tax payers are going to have to pay for these misinformed malcontents room and board for five years...
Ed and Elaine Brown are heros. No one should be able to steal billions of American's dollars each year, but the US govnerment does it anyway with no remorse. Kudos to them for standing up for what is right.
