U.S. v. William J. Benson

This case is instructive as to how a criminal charge of promoting income tax resistance can be defended.

•  CASE #: 1:04-cv-07403, Filed 11/16/2004. The Government has sued Bill Benson seeking an injunction prohibiting him from falsely telling people the 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution was not ratified and therefore they are not required to file an income tax return.
•  Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint and Motion for Preliminary Injunction for Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction and for Failure to State a Claim Upon Which Relief Can be Granted, February 7, 2005.
