A crazy libertarian has barricaded himself in his New Hampshire home after being convicted of tax evasion. The feds have two choices. Option 1: Swarm his house, kill him, then blame him. Option 2: Leave him alone until he gets hungry. What will it be?

He is, no doubt, about to announce his candidacy for Governor. You can’t get elected to public office in New Hampshire without pledging to oppose statewide taxes. And this is perhaps a shrewd move by Ed Brown to get out first. All that free publicity!
I once saw the economist and columnnist Walter Williams give a talk where he said that failure to pay taxes would lead to the government killing you as they would attempt to sieze your home and your resistance would lead to you being shot.
I hope cooler heads prevail in NH.
I’ll see your Walter Williams, and raise you one William Loeb. New Hampshire is like Virginia’s CD-5 with a downeaster twang.
I bet that guy’s got a ton of food hoarded away. He’ll be able to hold out for a good while.
So what if he holds out for a long time. Let’s just call it “house arrest” and wait.
I like the ‘house arrest’ concept. You’d think that the lesson of Ruby Ridge would have been absorbed by now. They should just all take off and maybe leave one guy hidden there to report when the dude leaves his house. Pull him over when he goes grocery shopping.

Really? I’ve met Walter, although only once, and he came across as moderately normal. He’s an interesting guy, although kind of self-centered. Does great podcasts, and he is considered to be a great economist (hence the self-centered label).
Then again, I’ve only met him once. He could have been taking his meds that day.
Do you believe in pay taxes or die?
