I mean, I didn't infringe on anybody Elses rights, nor am I physically or mentally harming any one person on this gods earth.

Answer 1

Yes.

Regardless of whether you FEEL it is a valid law, it is.  

Until we change the law, that is.

Answer 2

Do you drive on the roads, have your trash hauled off, drink water provided by your town, use the sewer system, enjoy the protection provided by police, fire dept., and a million other services provided by government?  If so, you are using tax-paid services.  Is paying your fair share to provide those services such a bad idea?

Answer 3

Thousands have tried the same thing, and in the end, they land in jail......Just pay taxes like the rest of us, and you dont have to worry.

Answer 4

Paying taxes isn't part of the law... I'm pretty sure there isn't any piece of paper saying you have to.

Answer 5

what is hysterical is when  you find yourself sharing a cell with a guy that thought the same way you did. Your damage is done to the other 300 million people that contribute via taxes. since you don't pay, we have to cover your debt. Ergo, you break the law and are incarcerated.
