Poor IRS! :<(
What's a despotic, corrupt, despised and hated government agency to do when its loses its tyrannical mojo? Like the lion who looses its teeth, it dies a slow death from starvation, no longer able to inject fear into its once terrorized prey. Poor IRS.
While its true that for most people, the letters IRS, still invoke fear, anxiety, and loathing, but for a growing enlightened, confident, and pissed off set of people, its fighting time!
For example, take the case of Vernice Kuglin, a FedEx pilot. This native of Memphis, TN, at least minimally intelligent enough to become an airline pilot, started to apply that intelligence to the study of the so-called "income" tax system. Airline pilots make a lot of money, compared to most people, and the IRS would like them to just handover a large portion of it. But like many before her (and many more since) from her studies Kuglin came to the conclusion that she couldn't find a law that said she had to do this, so she stopped withholding from coming out of her wages, and stopped filing. This the IRS did not like! And as it sometimes feels necessary to do, to keep the rest of the slaves from running off the plantation, they concocted a criminal indictment against her. But instead of copping a plea, and asking for mercy, Kuglin stood her ground and went to trial.
And lo and behold, on August 8, 2003 a Memphis jury of her peers, in the case, IRS v. Kuglin, found her innocent of all the alleged criminal charges the IRS brought against her. In shock, the US Attorney, stunned and taken aback by the temerity of the jury to render this verdict, screamed at the judge to order Kuglin to file and pay her taxes anyway, upon which the judge is stated to have uttered, "Sir, I don't work for the IRS." Oh my, oh my.....Poor IRS! :<(

Next, there was the 'et tu Brute' case of Joe Banister, a former CID (Criminal Investigation Division) agent of the IRS. Banister was fired after presenting his research to his superiors that he couldn't find a statutory basis for the "income" tax, though his job required he investigate people to help criminally prosecute them for violating said alleged laws. For discovering this truth, and then counseling others about it, he was criminally charged with conspiracy to commit tax fraud. But on June 23, 2005, a Sacramento, CA jury
