He's a believer


Ed Brown and his wife have not paid taxes since 1996 simply because they don't think the government has the right to tax them. They owe $625,000. They were convicted today of tax evasion and fraud. Mr. Brown, who walked out of the trial, is barricaded in his house along with some supporters; everyone in the house is armed. They are determined to protest this injustice, perhaps even use weapons to do so.

    I'm not sure how this sort of behavior is looked on by ordinary folks in the U.S., but in Europe he would be regarded as a pariah and extended no sympathy whatever.
