WorldNetDaily has made a big deal of protester Cindy Sheehan’s vow not to pay her income taxes as a protest over the Iraq war. An Aug. 20 article notes, “WND contacted the IRS after Sheehan yesterday reiterated previous statements about not paying her taxes.”
But we thought WND loved people who refused to pay their taxes.
WND has been a big promoter of We the People, a group operated by Bob Schulz that believes that the federal government lacks any legal jurisdiction to enforce the income tax, that there is no law that requires Americans to pay the tax, and that the tax is enforced in a manner that violates the U.S. Constitution.
A search for “Bob Schulz” in WND’s archive turns up 70 articles. Among them are a 2002 article by Jon Dougherty on a “Truth-in-Taxation” forum held by We the People at which, according to Schulz, “almost 500 detailed legal assertions and supporting evidence were put forth publicly challenging the legal foundations of the tax system”; and a Feb. 1 article touting a victory for Schulz in a lawsuit he filed against the IRS.
Instead of siccing the IRS on Cindy Sheehan, why isn’t WND trying to hook her up with Bob Schulz?
