Tax fight has been an odyssey
Rep. Phil Hart Idaho House of Representatives
After fighting what I believed was an unconstitutional federal income tax, six years ago I capitulated, filed returns and have since then paid $120,054 in combined state and federal income taxes (including the interest and penalties).
I was also working toward a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service. What derailed this settlement process was becoming a target for an audit. My experiences provide a case study of why we need to get rid of the income tax on wages and salaries.
