Almost every dodge that has been tried for not paying the IRS
has been tried, and the IRS has one every one in Tax Court.
The illegal Constitutional Amendment, Dollars not being legal
tender because of not being based on the gold standard, etc
have all been refused.
If you use one of these, you will be liable for penalties
for malicious non-payment of taxes, which are more severe
than the `I forgot' or legitimate mistake penalties.
If you still feel like using one reason or another for
not paying taxes, at least call a tax lawyer and find out
if the argument you want to use has been rejected by the courts.
If you still want to avoid taxes, you will probably want
to put the tax lawyer on retainer, as you will need him/her.
