Tax protesters are individuals or groups who oppose the payment of taxes, often believing that tax laws are unjust or unconstitutional. They may argue that the government does not have the authority to impose taxes or that certain taxes are not legally enforceable. This movement can include a variety of beliefs, from those who advocate for complete tax refusal to those who seek reform in the tax system. Many tax protesters utilize various legal arguments and strategies to justify their stance, sometimes citing documents like the U.S. Constitution or claiming that income taxes are voluntary. Some have faced legal consequences for their actions, including fines and imprisonment, as tax evasion is considered a crime in many jurisdictions.
