Michael Minns, US tax attorney and author, faces off with IRS Commissioner and tells it like it is. Check out Minns’ saucy insider’s look at the IRS, The Underground Lawyer, on Amazon.com.

Please note that Minns does not seem to be advocating tax protestor type arguments, but rather arguing in defense of the victims of illegal practices of a tax-funded government agency, the IRS! One position here states that the very idea of paying taxes ought to shunned on principle, while the other position is a simple seeking for justice in an unjust system. Minns in fact often invokes the flat tax, for the simple fact that it would eliminate the ostensible excuses for what has become a corrupt and self-creating industry now known as the “IRS”. Minns holds taxes to be neccessary part of being an American in all the interview clips and books I’ve ever so far seen–but in due proportion to wealth and not at the expense of the less fortunate. Taxation of the citizenry was never intended to create a nation of debtors, but rather to ensure individual liberty and freedoms of the citizenry.

Minns charges cronyism and favor-peddling within the IRS as evidence of corruption that fuels the incompetence and somewhat studied obscurity of US tax codes.
