Very well said ... and I agree with most of it.He knew what he was getting into. His two previous convictions and jail sentences show that much.
I would respect the man for his convictions had he martyred only himself, but he has drug countless others into a legal nightmare under false pretenses in order to make a tax free buck on book sales and consultations. He would have garnered much more support had he followed a more noble route. Ironically, the royalties to his tax protester books are now owned by the IRS.
Ultimately, the only thing that will bring about an end to income taxes will be a protest by more people than there are jail cells. Not manipulation of the system supported by income tax.
The government set a good example with Schiff and sent this message as well: "Hey you little people out there ... look what we did with the most famous tax protester on the planet. We gave him a life sentence for publishing books, speaking his mind, and trying to bring down the Marxist tax system that allows us to manipulate the masses by forcing them to conform to the way we tweak the tax code. You little worm ... don't you even try to change the system or we will place our jackboot of power on your neck as well. Don't think we can do it? Schiff was a piker compared to Leona Helmsley and Willy Nelson!"
