I heard Ray Garland on the radio a few months ago, and found him
to have a very persuasive argument.  Apparently he is one of the
few that have won a non-payment of taxes case.  I thought his
case had something to do with the requirement of "filing"
the tax forms was unconstitutional (invasion of privacy?).  He
seemed to say that he had nothing against paying taxes, but
that they were voluntary, and the government could not require
an individual to file a 1040.  If anyone has more substantive
information about this case, I would really like to hear about it.
