You're linking to a webpage run by a moron who doesn't know shit. The only real loser at Quatloos is the guy who made the website.
John Turner, Joe Bannister, Peymon Mottahedeh, Bob Schulz and many others have successfully used the reliance defense and were never made to pay a single penny of income taxes.
Bob Schulz actually took out full page ads in the USA Today telling the IRS that he would not pay income taxes, and he had employers state that they would not withhold income taxes from the paychecks of their workers. Not one of them has ever been made to pay taxes.
All of the tax protesters shown on that website are correct with the law, though Judge Rizzo screwed up his defense and by doing so, made it tougher for others.
The government violated several laws in its attack on Irwin Schiff. They even said he couldn't publish his book
(violation of the 1st amendment) Irwin was wrong to suggest that people file zero returns. They shouldn't file any returns because we are not compelled to do so by the law and because the bottom of the 1040 tax form says the information will be shared with law enforcement officials. If we make a mistake on our taxes it will be viewed as a violation of the law, and according to the 5th amendment, we are not required to do anything that might incriminate ourselves.
