Reply #84: Those lawyers haven't actually managed to get people off the hook for paying their taxes yet.

I've actually looked into this, and what I found is that all the case law is still up in the air. The lawyers involved on both sides of this debate are working hard to ensure that their side wins, and if/when the IRS wins out in a federal court, all of these people who haven't been paying their taxes due to various ridiculous claims will be paid a visit by white men in black suits demanding money or assets.

There is, at this time, no legal way to avoid paying taxes on income that you earn in the US. (That is unless something has changed recently and I haven't heard about it yet.) There is, however, an easy way to ensure that money you voluntarily part with doesn't go to protect child rapists. Ergo, your argument of hypocrisy is still nothing more than a red herring.
