Anti-tax advocate Schiff indicted on tax-evasion charge By Jace Radke jace@lasvegassun.com LAS VEGAS SUN

The self-proclaimed leading authority on income taxes in the nation was named in a 33-count federal indictment released Wednesday charging conspiracy, tax evasion and aiding and abetting in the filing of false income tax returns.

If you don't file or file claiming to have no income, the IRS will do your Tax Return for you and then bill you. If you don't pay, they'll come and take your property, or worse. It doesn't matter what the law is. They have bigger guns than you and that's what matters.

There are many legal, and IRS accepted, ways to lower your taxes. BTW, being a DINK isn't one of them.
