    I remember many, many years ago first hearing about this “Did you know that you don’t have to pay income taxes if you just do …” thing, way before “being completely disconnected from reality” was an acceptable political position.

    “Huh,” I thought, “I should look into that, see what that’s about.”

    Fifteen minutes later: “Oh, it’s just looney bullshit.”

      It dates back a long time, and for some reason has ties to both white supremacy and Moorish black people. I guess any loony fringe groups will pick up stuff like this.
