Joe Banister went from IRS criminal investigator to outspoken critic of the agency, and says he hasn’t filed an income tax return since 1998. He describes the radio broadcast that prompted him to investigate the tax system, alleges that IRS computer codes were used to create assessments against people who didn’t file, and explains why he believes the agency’s enforcement exceeds the law. Banister also revisits his challenge to the IRS, his claims about the ratification of the 16th Amendment, and the striking irony of government employees who reportedly don’t pay their own taxes.
