The buried lede here is how this is all being afforded. The article implies the existence of multiple instances of this billboard, but while renting billboard space isn't usurious or anything, renting a shitload of them at once surely requires an amount I would not associate with someone capable of so thoroughly misunderstanding the nature of citizenship and the role of government. Or someone who's willing to type the following, to a journalist, which looks to be the product of either a) disordered thinking or b) smug overestimation of one's sense of humour: "google legal name fraud and read the essays like millions of others did....be a real journalist vs. a talking B-B.C. talking pair-rot"

Take a look at WeRe bank. They sell promissory notes and information about those notes. People use them to "pay" their taxes; car loans; utility bills; etc. http://www.quatloos.com/Q-Forum/viewtopic.php?t=10879 http://www.quatloos.com/Q-Forum/viewtopic.php?t=10879 http://www.getoutofdebtfree.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=93495#.V1w0ldIrK00 http://www.getoutofdebtfree.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=9...

Also: Someone can become rich before they become mentally ill. (If we're assuming these billboards are a result of mental illness).

    ...or teaching what they say are their ways to others. I suspect that the way some have been able to peddle their "pay no taxes" seminars and books for years without getting busted is that they themselves know that their methods do not work and so they actually do pay their taxes. This does not occur to their gullible students, who take their teacher's continued lack of indictment as proof that the methods work.
