Maybe I'm chicken, but if I'm going to try to resist an armed robbery, I want to have a high probability of success. Otherwise, I'm going to give the armed robber(s) my money and stay alive (or out of prison). Against the IRS, I think I have a pretty low probability of success. Besides, while I have no love for the IRS or the US Tax Code, I think government and taxes are a definitely unavoidable, and possibly necessary evil. I would love to see a tax system that was fairer (however one might define that) and certainly simpler, but I'm not an AC, so I really have no desire to go to prison to eliminate or change the tax system.
