Irwin Schiff lived by the adage that what is worth living for is worth dying for. He was one of America's unsung heroes, a true patriot.

Saying that the income tax is a really bad idea or that it is unconstitutional is not a crime. Irwin Schiff was convicted of aiding in the preparation of false income tax returns, conspiracy & failing to pay income tax; not for saying that the income tax is unconstitutional is not a crime.

          Like William Wallace in the final scene of Braveheart, an oppressive 
          government may have succeeded in killing him, but they did not 
          break his spirit.

         [When] Irwin Schiff, imprisoned for his resistance to the federal income tax, 
         died...Efforts by his son, the noted financial commentator Peter Schiff, to 
         secure his release from prison so that he could die with his family were 
         unsuccessful. Schiff's sad passing illustrates an essential truth about the 
         state:  if you resist its orders, you will be dealt  with by force.
         David Gordon, "Irwin Schiff, RIP", Mises Wire

 Death of a Patriot
 My father Irwin A. Schiff was born Feb. 23rd 1928, the 8th child and 
 only son of Jewish immigrants, who had crossed the Atlantic twenty 
 years earlier in search of freedom. 
 As a result of their hope and courage my father was fortunate to have
 been born into the freest nation in the history of the world. 
 But when he passed away on Oct. 16th, 2015 at the age of 87, a political 
 prisoner of that same nation, legally blind and shackled to a hospital bed 
 in a guarded room in intensive care, the free nation he was born into had 
 itself died years earlier.
 Peter Schiff, Irwin Schiff's son

Irwin Schiff believed in sound, honest money, with gold as money.

           In essence, Mr. Schiff argued that the Constitution had established that 
           the value of the dollar was based on a certain amount of gold or silver, 
           and that after the so-called gold standard was phased out, starting during 
           the Depression, citizens no longer earned dollars, or income.
           Dennis Hevesi, The New York Times

As long I know, lots of workers, tax payers, even the rich like to pay taxes as far as taxes are used in the right way. 30-40% of the income is definitively too much tax, especially for those with kids. This issue is very important, at least to all workers over the world. I hope bad conditions like this will change soon by demonstration and revolt. It's obvious that all governments lie to the public — this is one of the issues no government like us to be aware of. Great post!

Ifthw world went back to 'gold' backed money there would be a lot of bankrupt countries.

Yes, some countries will immediately fail.
Every country does not use money as a measuring stick, but as a magic wand to print magic money.
