Non Sequitur Lawsuit Divides Hovindologists

Given how many Hovindologists are involved in this some of the Parallels with Hovind are interesting.  Steve’s notion that taxable income can kind of be suspended is a little reminiscent of Kent’s non-statutory trusts.

Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
