Arcane law:  Secret or hidden law.  The fact that the law is old does not
make it any less the law, nor does it make it secret or hidden.  e.g. the
Constitution.  I would have no problem paying taxes If I owed them.  I won't
pay what I don't owe out of fear of the IRS or anyone else.  If one chooses
to pay what they don't owe for what ever reason and then complains that it
is unfair or dishonest for everyone else not to do the same is rather simple
minded.

Again and again someone who thinks they are smarter than the rest of us
quotes arcane law to show that they don't have to pay income taxes and, by
implication, that we are stupid to do so. And again and again, if the IRS
chooses to go after them, they end up broke or in prison or both.

I don't like taxes more than anyone else. I also don't like tax cheats. Tax
cheats force law-abiding citizens to pay the cheats' share. If we condone
dishonesty in those we know on a personal level, then we have no authority
to condemn dishonesty in public figures.
