NYTimes.com: Facts Refute Filmmaker’s Assertions on Income Tax in ‘America’

Here's the comment I posted to the review-writer, David Cay Johnston:

It appears you are guilty of what your insurance analyst friend accuses tax protesters of doing -- selectively looking at the law and taking the bits and pieces you like out of context. For instance I notice you do not attempt to argue that the 16th Amendment was properly ratified, but merely rest on the courts having failed to rule that it was not. Of course the courts once upheld segregation too -- some infallible authority! The reality is that the corporate welfare state has failed to act legally or morally, and people who still have faith in it refuse to acknowledge facts that show their faith has no basis in fact. But unless it was penned by your paper's token pro-freedom writer John Tierney, I'd be greatly surprised to see any other kind of review of this movie from the New York Times. If the big government you love ends up closing you down over some national security pretext or other, it will be poetic justice.

I second Don Fields' appreciation.
