There are multiple laws-one requiring that you file an income tax returns, others that you pay certain amounts, etc. I\'m sure juries have acquitted people for income tax evasion, probably through jury nullification at times. Personally I don\'t have a problem with it in principle-juries are there to be a check on the power of the government, after all. Better to argue on ethical or political grounds that you should not have to (not that this will work any better in many cases).
