Wesley Snipes bought into an old argument that the government doesn't have the legal right to tax you. Just like everyone else who tried to not pay taxes, he was wrong. Unfortunately for him, his error is going to cost him 3 years in prison.
The article does a good job of giving you the time line of his tax issues and the resources Snipes was relying on for his tax philosophy. It's not a new philosophy, but when you hear about it for the first time, of course you are interested in learning more. If someone told you that you didn't have to pay taxes you would probably want to know more. There are a lot of good sales man in the world too that may even convince you that their Taxing is Illegal theory has solid facts to back it up.
Let me just say, the government can tax you. You are required to pay your legal minimum in taxes every year. Snipes had plenty of cash resources to take his argument to court to try and win. He failed. So I would definitely recommend that Snipes course of action is not recommended.
Find a tax genius who can help you legally minimize your taxes. Like me. You have to pay taxes, but you don't have to pay more than your fair share. (And yes....fair has an interesting definition at the white house, but you still have to pay)
