I am quite on the same page than you. Furthermore criminals create rules for others, not for them, so they intentionally create exceptions to avoid following it.
To come back to Peymon Mottahedeh, on his website though he listed a good amount of cases won:

I know there have been successful cases, and I'm very happy for those individuals.
My problem is that there are also people who get in the regime's crosshairs and, as Chuck Schumer said, they have six ways to Sunday to get you. Even just dealing with these court cases carries an immense cost in terms of time, money, and stress.

If you want to avoid taxes, go ex-patriate. Once you leave the country, not to return, you will be surprised at the freedom you get. The only problem is passports.
reply
You don't even have to go full expat. Just moving to one of the territories (Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Greenland, etc) gets you out of federal tax obligations.
reply
My impression was that the obligations were stronger in the territories of the U.S, government than in the states, themselves. The territories are actual property of the DC government.
reply
Nope. It's a legacy of the whole "No taxation without representation." thing.
That's the deal territories get: no taxation and no representation.
reply
I didn't know this. I have met Marines from Puerto Rico in Tokyo, so I thought they had representation since they could enroll in the army.
Then, they might not be paying taxes. But, they are territories, just like DC is not one of the states, but they still pay taxes, don’t they? Actually, these territories have non-voting representation in the House. I am not sure of the Senate, though. Are they represented or not with that situation? Those non-voting representatives participate as if they were a regular representative, but they can’t vote. So, are they represented or not?
Besides passports, I would add international driver licenses as well. In Japan for example an international driver license is only valid one year. Unless you are in an easy going country like Cambodia, it becomes quickly an issue.
reply
I had an international license when I was in Japan and got myself a Japanese license. It took taking the paper test and turning in my international license. I have to say that I drove without a license for quite a while without harm or problems before I returned to the US and got an international license. I can proudly say that in some of the countries I was in, I wouldn’t have driven on a dare, for fear of life and limb.
reply
Hahaha. I think I know what you refer to. I got pretty close to an accident in some countries too.
reply
I see. Breedlove tried to ask the question about the cost but IMHO he didn't get really a convincing answer in terms of time and stress, just in terms of money saved. If you care more about time and stress than money, then I understand.

I would tend not to spend the money on the parasites of the BAR. They are state lackeys. FTS
