The tax court is the perfect example of this. How can someone be imprisoned for violating a law that is only law in the minds of the population, but *is* in fact enforced to perpetuate the myth.

If the police were arresting people for wearing blue shirts, eventually people would think that wearing them was illegal. The fact that there *could not* be a law preventing them from being worn is irrelevant. If the courts then upheld the convictions people would stop wearing blue shirts even though they know the (non)law is bullshit.

So in the case of the tax system, it's not law, it's the *WILL* of the gov't. It's the foundation of the power that they have hijacked and any court that ruled against it would be cutting it's own throat, regardless of the validity of the argument against the (non) law. The dominoes would start falling.
