“Self Test for Paranoia: You know you have it when you can’t think of anything that’s your own fault.”

Here’s a post from Paul Caron about two of our more notorious and violent tax protestors:
Ed and Elaine Brown who, after being convicted of evading $1.9 million in taxes on her dental practice, holed up in their New Hampshire mountaintop home for months, vowing to die fighting rather than surrender.
The Associated Press reports that they were convicted yesterday on weapons charges and of plotting to kill federal agents.
They face a minimum sentence of thirty years in prison.
To get an idea of just how off the wall the Browns are read this excerpt from an article that appeared in the Concord Monitor:
The Browns changed their names in late March after converting to a non denominational form of Christianity they learned from a man named Sonny.
According to friends of the Browns, Sonny, who wears a long beard, all-white attire and sandals, flew from Hawaii to New Hampshire to visit the Browns and shared his religious and legal teachings over several days.
Elaine Brown was quoted as saying: “The only law book we now recognize is the Bible. The only way we’re coming out of our home is either as free man and free woman or in body bags.”
I don’t think this tax protester stuff is working very well for the protesters, do you?
