Couple In Fed Standoff

June 20, 2007 | ISSUE 43•25

Claiming that there is no law requiring them to pay taxes, well-armed New Hampshire couple Ed and Elaine Brown have vowed to die rather than surrender to a prison term. What do you think?

Wow. I wish I felt that strongly. About anything.

Taxed labor is just a form of slavery where you work whenever you want at whatever you want to do.

This standoff would all be worth it if, when Ed Brown was asked for his 1099, he replied 'Here's my 1099,' and then drew a gun.
