Of course, I am sad about the persecution of Snipes, he is being made to suffer at the hands of the heartless government.
Being he was convinced of a misdemeanor, he shouldn't serve more than a year (maximum) in confinement in any case. The government is making an example of Snipes in order to inspire fear in the people so they will comply with the burdensome tax scam. Yet, should be painfully clear this is a state of tyranny, where greater, and greater, numbers of people don't "consent" (see the Declaration of Independence for more information) to the current tax scheme.Thus, more unjust coercion must be used to keep the people in line. This is the very definition of tyranny.

”It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made be men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be tomorrow.” –James Madison, Federalist no. 62, 1788

Isn't this a warning against the tax system we see today? Madison was a framer of the Constitution, he may have had some "valid" ideas of what was intended, and what was not.
It has long been known that the Constitution was intended to be understood using the Federalist Papers, and Madison's Notes of the Constitutional Convention. |
