I don't think I kept the receipts but I had the receipts of using a process to set off a tax liability back in 2008. Probably my mother has the receipts, she's a bit of an archivist. Certainly she can corroborate my story. But I would caution to get too excited, it's a lot to learn and I know for sure I don't have the mastery of the grimoire of spells required.

My point in bringing up Schiff and Koosman was to cite examples of people who believed they were on safe footing legally, and then discovered that this statement:
If you follow their rules, they almost always play fair
Is not always the case in a U.S. courtroom.
I'm failing to see how hiding money or refusing to continue your contract equates to thinking you're on safe footing.
All you have to do is read the laws. I posted the IRM citing in another comment as one example.
In Koosman's case, at the time there were self proclaimed tax gurus promoting the Tax Truther notion that "only federal employees, corporate workers and District of Columbia residents" had to pay taxes. If you're interested you can read up on this movement. The Feds used Koosman as an example.
I am very familiar with those arguments and technically they are correct, but you have to actually use the laws to get out of it. You can't just up and decide to stop paying for a bill that you acquiesced to.
You're correct that technically that theory was accurate.That's my point in a nutshell. The Law is what the people in power say it is. In the old days, that meant the Golden Rule:
Those with the gold make the rules.
You're potentially scaring away people, including yourself, for no reason. Thousands have and are using these same laws and rules for decades and have had the courts and the IRS admit they what they're doing is correct and legal.
Can you post some court rulings? I'm willing to learn.
I would caution everyone not to rely on these theories without checking real world results. Many people have been arrested thinking they had legally shielded themselves after watching youtube videos, including Peter Schiff's father and former New York Mets pitcher Jerry Koosman.
I know you claim that these people bring receipts, but at least Jonah Bey has some issues.
