Reading some of the crap on Lost Horizons, it occurs to me that there are stages of tax protester grief.
In the Kubler-Ross model, there are five stages of grief:
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance
In the tax protester model, the stages are as follows:
1. Denial
2. Denial
3. Denial
4. Bargaining (in the sense of thinking that if you send the right letter or file the right pleading, everything will be okay).
5. Anger (when everything is not okay).

6. Blame anyone but yourself. (evil IRS, evil government, NWO, illuminati, Jews, etc., etc.)
Light travels faster than sound, which is why some people appear bright, until you hear them speak.

Re: Five Stages of TP Grief
Then, there's the Irwin Schiff slow, but sure 25-year model:
1. Denial
2. Conviction and imprisonment
3. Denial
4. Conviction and imprisonment
5. Denial
6. Conviction and imprisonment for, effectively, life
7. Withering of all support or even acknowledgement, perhaps to include memory that you ever existed
Throw in a few cert denieds and miscellaneous civil and criminal court sanctions along the way, despite always sending the right letter and filing the right pleading and you have...
Victory!
