I listened to an interview of a guy that was a tax protester. After a couple of decades he was in his mid 70's, his life was in ruins, the IRS came to his property and confiscated stuff that did not belong to him with no warning, they laughed in his face when he asked to see a warrant, etc.
If you are thinking of becoming a war lord and not paying taxes I strongly suggest you wait until the federal government is so weak you can pull it off. It will happen eventually, nobody knows when but they all go eventually.
I also heard some guys on the radio recently that were taking advantage of the tax reform act of 1998 which has a rule in it that the IRS must follow their own procedures. They were using the freedom of information act to get the documentation that the IRS was following their own procedures and the IRS could never provide that and all their clients were getting off of paying. That is probably a less dangerous route, just having an attorney do all the work, no big questions about constitution etc, thus no protest. I might go that route just for fun to see what happens, presuming I could afford to pay penalties if I'm wrong.
This current system wherein the public sector never, ever, has enough money and never will, will really crush a tax protester. I would emigrate to a third world country and pay off a dictator before I would become a tax protester.
