The Plainfield couple ordered to serve 63-month federal prison terms said they won't be taken alive in their fight against what they say is illegal government taxation. "The only law book we now recognize is the Bible."

Why is it that the only people supporting these wannabe martyrs are illiterate, ignorant morons?
Get off the cross...these people are costing YOU now.
Do you really want to fund this absurd, obscene mess any more?
Newsflash, YOU ALREADY ARE.
What have these millionaires ever done for YOU?

What I dont understand is why the judge couldnt answer the man when Ed Brown asked him to produce a law that is written. Only thing I can think of is that our Judges are so arrogant that he wouldnt answer him, or the Judge couldnt tell the truth....There is NO law written to claim federal Income taxes from peoples wages. As for the Union Leader....the rich controll the government the media the law!!! Why does the Union Leader not do the research? Oh yeah too busy branding and labeling these people as nuts!!! Ask questions get the truth you cowards. Have you not the will to print the truth?

Elaine Brown says "The only law book we now recognize is the Bible."
Perhaps she has not read either Mark 12:17 ("And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's") or Romans 13:7 ("Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due ...").

Where is the outrage from everyday citizens? Does anyone see what is happening here?
Elaine made 1.9Mil over a 7 year period, and they wanted to take almost HALF of it (750K). Oh sure, she made 1.9Mil over that period, so she OWES it... Come on.
Ed and Elaine Brown are courageous patriots that have the strength to stand up to tyranny and not waiver. Our society has lost the will for freedom, and we don't deserve it. We refuse to fight for it, so why bother having it?
I applaud this couple, and I applaud every American that refuses to be oppressed by Government. If our founding fathers were alive today, they would applaud them also... Heck, they probably would be standing right beside Ed and Elaine.
Please wake up people, and see how our Government wastes our hard earned money. Is it right to give our money to Uncle Sam, if he freely spends it all over the world? Isn't it better to clean your own house before you help fix the mess in another? Why should my money go to build schools in Iraq, when there are schools in my state that desperately need the money? Why should we build hospitals in other lands, when my Insulin costs me over $500 per month? Why do I have to work 60 hours a week, when others get the opportunity to have a check (and EBT cards) and not even be expected to do anything to earn it?
These two people have earned my respect and admiration. I hope them the best.
