Didn't he just beat the IRS at his tax trial? That would be an interesting endorsement wouldn't it? Or a stage appearance on a RP tax speech?

I read an article saying that he may get three years (can not find it now but its called "Jury Acquits Wesley Snipes of Tax Fraud" by AP).

Besides being a big fish to fry, I believe that he did not do all of his homework.

Thanks to the web, many more Americans are questioning the legality - http://www.thelawthatneverwas.com/new/home.asp - of the 16 amendment and the requirement - http://www.freeenterprisesociety.com/pr02.htm - to file 1040s every year.

Wesley Snipes, I believe, used the 861 argument, which I have studied extensively, and know it to be a sound statutory argument. He didn't claim the tax to be unconstitutional, but instead he claimed that the renumeration paid to him did not constitute gross income.

Laken Rose did a lot of the research along with Thurston Bell (whose web page was forced down by the DOJ several years back).

If anyone knew how corrupt the IRS and our DOJ and our judicial system is....in most cases the defendent is actually not allowed to present the law in his defense.

yes, the inability to use the law in one's defense was
