Go Ed and Elaine Brown!

For a while now the federal government has been besieging the New Hampshire compound of a couple named Ed and Elaine Brown. What was their crime? Merely not wanting the government to steal their money. The Browns believe that tax laws are unconstitutional, and therefore have refused to pay their taxes. Recently the government has shut off the Browns' phone service, Internet, and electricity, but the Browns say they can still last for quite a while without these things. I completely agree with Ed and Elaine on taxes. The government has no right to people's money, and the feds' actions in this case seem awfully mean-spirited. I mean, there are over 300 million people in this country. Would it kill the government to go without one couple's tax money?
