Stop Paying Income Tax, America?

Stop Paying Income Tax, America? is a post from Chris Pirillo

The news reports that a “local” attorney (to Shreveport) acquitted on federal income tax charges:

A Shreveport attorney who has challenged the government for years on the legality of filing federal income taxes has been acquitted on charges he failed to file returns. A federal jury unanimously found Tommy Cryer not guilty this week on two misdemeanor counts of failure to file. And according to Cryer, the prosecution dismissed two felony charges of tax evasion prior to trial.

I don’t think this is a good thing, friends – why wouldn’t he have been found guilty? Shouldn’t there have been a definitive response on the part of the U.S. Government? Are we all free to tell the tax man to stop cometh’ing every year?

“I determined that my personal earnings were not 100 percent profits, some were income,” Cryer said. “I refuse to file, I refuse to pay unless they can show me I have a lawful reason to pay. What I earned was my own personal labor. I am giving something in exchange. I’m giving my property and I don’t belong to anyone else.”

He didn’t get away with anything if (indeed) there is no law that forces people to pay personal income taxes to the federal government. Just assume that if it has anything to do with the Federal Reserve, the government shouldn’t have say in the matter…

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
