He claims the government has never done that. This seems a bit odd, since Title 26 United States Code, the law requiring you to pay, is on the internet, available through your computer or your public library. The requirement to pay is quite close to the top. Of course, the law does presuppose that you are literate in English and can handle a section of text in which many words have normal English meanings and others are terms of art with exact meanings specified in the law. That's why the English language has the phrase 'term of art', after all. George Philleis --------------------------------- Now that's room service!
