Tax rebel can't sell his book, judge rules

This article is funny, at least that what i think

LAS VEGAS � A tax protester may not sell his book that contends paying income tax is voluntary, a federal judge ruled June 16.

U.S. District Judge Lloyd D. George wrote in an order banning the book that Irwin Schiff is not protected by the First Amendment because he has encouraged people not to pay taxes.

"There is no protection ... for speech or advocacy that is directed toward producing imminent lawless action," George wrote in support of the preliminary injunction on the book, The Federal Mafia: How It Illegally Imposes and Unlawfully Collects Income Taxes.

The Internal Revenue Service claims Schiff has 3,100 clients attempting to evade $56 million in taxes.

Government attorneys have argued Schiff had been advocating the "false and frivolous position that paying federal income taxes is voluntary," and one called it one of the largest tax scams in U.S. history.

Schiff said the judge's order was wrong on all counts and he planned to appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.

"There's a reason why my book is called The Federal Mafia and this is a perfect example," he said. "The government has just thrown the First Amendment out of the window, and if anybody can't see that they should be declared legally blind."

I wonder if the Judge, Judge Lloyd D. George , is a FreeMason?????????

Many people are awakening to the reality that to date, the Gov has till failed to present a law that states paying taxes is mandatory.

Go Shiff, go!!!

Where is the point between the FM's and the IRS ? Is the IRS financing any FM lodge ?

The Masons at the top are enforcing the Tax payment to the Fed Reserve, which is owned by the top masons.

That is what the IRS is all about..
