Jack Klundert of Windsor, Ont., has won a court case in which he was charged with refusing to pay about $350,000 in taxes.

Klundert, who says he doesn't believe the federal government has the constitutional right to collect income tax, was found not guilty of tax evasion.

Klundert accumulated a $350,000 tax bill between 1993 and 1998. When it came time to file his taxes he wrote "zero income" on his tax forms, when he in fact he earned about $1.5 million.

Klundert argued that disclosing his earnings to the government would be like "sitting down with thieves" and telling them where his valuables were.

Klundert said his actions did not constitute tax evasion, but were instead an honest protest.

His lawyer said the jury apparently agreed there was no criminal intent.

I concur.....more juries that have the ability to think and reason for themselves AND the kahonas to tell the judge and the IRS to go take a walk via jury nullification. Change this land one verdict at a time!

He beat the criminal trial, I wonder how he did on the civil one?

If one is protected against civil actions it would not matter. Being judgment proof and protecting your assets is where it is at. I hope he is protected.
