Thank you for being fair.I do tend to get fired up on this subject, especially those who defend the government.Like I always say, there are possibilities I am wrong but this is a case when I know I am not.Facts are cut and dry, they oppose the government and income tax, that aside, she is being persecuted because refuses to sign a document, so they want to put her in prison.

And that's what I'm talking about. Believing in something, and being passionate about it, is a good thing, but you have to be able to show it, not just say it. If you can't show it, you don't know it.

Facts are cut and dry, they oppose the government and income tax, that aside, she is being persecuted because refuses to sign a document, so they want to put her in prison.

It is not a fact that she is being persecuted, it is an opinion. The government's opinion is that she is being prosecuted, and rightly so. My opinion is that the law needs to be changed and the IRS needs to go, but it has to be done within the law.

It is an undeniable fact that she broke the law. Right or wrong, no government can ever let that go unanswered, especially if the law is an arbitrary one. It's not a matter of wanting to "show their power", it's a matter of using that power or losing it. If they let this go it will only encourage others. The jury will decide this.
