Tinfoil Hat Squad -- Or, Is This Actually Correct?

The Internal Revenue Service has lost a lawyer's challenge in front of a jury to prove a constitutional foundation for the nation's income tax, and the victorious attorney now is setting his sights higher.

"I think now people are beginning to realize that this has got to be the largest fraud, backed up by intimidation and extortion and by the sheer force of taking peoples property and hard-earned money without any lawful authorization whatsoever," lawyer Tom Cryer told WND just days after a jury in Louisiana acquitted him of two criminal tax counts.

This isn't a misprint. An attorney actually won this case -- in a federal venue. Please read the complete link and make your own decision.

The two sentences that caught my attention:

1. Spokesman Robert Marvin in Washington's IRS office told WND the Internal Revenue Code provides for taxation on salaries or wages, but when pressed for a specific citation, or constitutional provision, he said, "I can't comment."

-- and --

2. He said throughout his battle, he's offered at every turn to pay taxes if the IRS could show him the authorization, and that never has happened.

My first thought: this can't possibly be true.

My second thought: if true, this opens a completely new dynamic paradym.

My third thought: if only, if only. . .
