I figured that this would come up.
From what i've been reading, there's a tax "code", and within this code are many laws. There have been alot of cases where people thought they didn't have to pay, and others just plain refused, but they were all told by the courts that they were wrong. I'm pretty sure all these cases get put into the code as precidents*, i think thats the word.
It's pretty popular with the conspiracy theory people. i watched a few of these videos while i was hung over on new years day, and kinda believed some of the lies. Over the last month though, i've researched on my own and found out how f.o.s. they really are.
I'm pretty sure ron paul pays his taxes, and so far every video i've seen of him, he's never said for people to not pay taxes.
I wonder sometimes if one of the reasons he ran as a republican is to dis-associate himself from the people that call themselves libertarians.
