The tax honesty movement states that there is no law requiring regular working Americans to pay income tax (watch Aaron Russo's "Freedom to Fascism", you can watch it for free on Google). Many say that they don't file. How do you that? If you have a job, your employer takes taxes out of your check, so even if you don't file, you're still paying.
Some people say to file a zero return, which means you don't claim any income (because the Supreme Court has ruled that "income" is gains from corporate or investment activity, not wages from work), but that seems a bit like daring them to come after you.
The courts have failed to convict almost everyone who has fought the IRS on grounds that there is no law requiring them to file. But that is, of course, AFTER the IRS has siezed all their property and bankrupted them with legal fees. In hoping to avoid that, how do you bail out?
