The law is the law. Unfortunately, everyone owes what they owe. Make an honest effort to pay it like most Americans. B!tching about it is one thing, going on a suicidal killing spree is quite another.

I'm not sure if you have ever tried to deal with the IRS, even after they finally admit you are right, but it is a very tortuerous process. It's so easy to say just pay what you owe, but in reality, that isn't how it happens.

The IRS is every man's nightmare! One hand doesn't know what the other is doing, 20,000 pages of tax law, new laws written every year, ever hear of VAT?

Flat tax would be better than VAT. With VAT you never really know how much of the listed price is tax.

I have a friend that went into tax court and the judge sided with him. Not long after that, he gets another letter from the IRS saying pay up or else. it never ends.

he gets checks from them all the time and refuses to cash any of them.
