Ben Carson’s Tax Proposal Takes On The Mortgage And Charity Sacred Cows
Robert Bateman did a serious critique of Carson’s West Point story in Esquire. To be charitable, I think it is quite possible, even likely, that somebody might have told Carson that he would be shoo-in for West Point and that since he was not interested Carson did not look into it any further and mentally translated that into an offer of sorts. It would be a bit like me saying I turned down a basketball scholarship, because of all the people who noting my height advised me that I should go out for basketball, which would get me a scholarship, but not nearly as silly.

The big difference is that if you get hooked on a multi-level marketing plan you will most likely pour time and resources into it and never get much out of it. On the other hand, if you get hooked on tax protester theories, you will get immediate rewards in that you will stop paying taxes. You will probably get away with it for a long time. As a matter of fact, as enforcement resources decline it might actually be likely that you will totally get away with it. When and if they finally catch up with you, hopefully you will have the sense to start taking more conventional advice, which will allow you to pay off your deficiencies over time and avoid forfeiting your liberty, but the really hard-core don’t do that. Hence the late Irwin Schiff dying in prison.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. 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.
