Recently my elderly cousin told me about her plan to avoid paying “voluntary” federal US income tax. She did not explain it very well and I’m sure she’s being scammed, paying money and traveling to seminars. Her newfound beliefs say that the federal government considers every citizen to be a corporation based in Washington DC at birth. Somehow this explains why our names are written in all caps on credit cards, and why our birth certificates show our mother’s maiden name. She’s traveling out of state soon to get some “passport” that will establish her as a non-citizen resident or something like that, which will emancipate her from her birth-corporation and allow her to stop “voluntarily” paying income tax.

I’m positive she’s getting scammed out of money and time right now, and eventually will get herself in legal trouble over unpaid taxes. Anyone ever heard of this particular hare brained scheme?
