Sorry for the late notice on this, but hard to always keep on top of everything. Free market economist Peter Schiff will be speaking in San Francisco tonight: WHEN: 6pm (box office closes at 6 o'clock, so you must arrive before then to buy a ticket, unless you get one online WHERE: Marines Memorial Theater, 609 Sutter Street, 2nd floor (cross street Mason) COST: $20, includes a copy of his latest book "How an Economy Grows and Why it Crashes"   Peter Schiff heads his investment firm Euro Pacific Capital and ran as a Ron Paul Republican for U.S. Senate in Connecticut, but did not get elected. He is well regarded as an economic prognosticator, and also hosts a radio show, on the April 3 edition of which he debated well-known libertarian anarchist Stefan Molyneux on the topic of minarchy vs. anarchy -- [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jEEnP7YEQE](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jEEnP7YEQE) (thanks Michael Edelstein for the tip and link). Schiff is the son of tax resistor and former Libertarian Party presidential aspirant Irwin Schiff, who served time in jail as a political prisoner on tax-related charges.

Oops, forgot to include the online link for tickets and info -- [http://www.europac.net/events/peter\_schiff\_speaking\_tour\_san\_francisco\_ca](http://www.europac.net/events/peter_schiff_speaking_tour_san_francisco_ca) . However I recommend just showing up at the theater a little beforehand and buying your ticket there, because if you order online or by phone there is an extra $5 service fee. The box office guy told me the venue seats 650, so they are not expected to sell out and there should be plenty of seats.                     ((( starchild ))) ---

Hi Starchild, \<\< Schiff is the son of tax resistor and former Libertarian Party presidential aspirant Irwin Schiff, who served time in jail as a political prisoner on tax-related charges. \>\> I'm glad you made this fact known. I seldom give in to superlatives, but I must say that Irwin Schiff is the greatest living patriot in America. For over 30 years he fought a virtual one-man battle against the IRS. He refused to file and pay income taxes for this simple fact: No one is required to pay income taxes or file such returns, because no law requires anyone to do so. (He never said income taxes are unconstitutional, as many, including prosecutors and judges, have alleged him to say. Rather, he has always maintained that the income tax is unconstitutionally collected.) He presented his thorough research in several books. His magnum opus is The Federal Mafia: How the government illegally imposes and unlawfully collects the income tax. The government once tried to ban it, but was only able to forbid Irwin from selling it. Indeed you could download it for free, along with his other books at: [http://www.paynoincometax.com/great\_giveaway.htm](http://www.paynoincometax.com/great_giveaway.htm) Yet, despite Irwin's impeccably researched and irrefutable evidence, the government with the connivance of the Department of Justice and the Federal Courts, in a "mind-boggling collusion," had railroaded him in several kangaroo courts and star chambers, and jailed him several times. Even today he is in jail for the "crime" of failing to pay income taxes or file such returns. ("Political prisoner" extraordinaire is certainly an apt description of him.) The saddest thing, though, is how the Freedom Movement have marginalized and ignored Irwin. Many consider him a crackpot, a fraud, a charlatan and worse. Yet, none could refute his research. Or bravely follow his steps. Still, to directly challenge the government (a la Boston Tea Party?) where it would really hurt it the most is nothing for the faint of heart. Doing so separates the . . . whatever. But that doesn't mean we cannot read and study Irwin's research. We at least owe that much to him. And I suppose we could always be armchair tax protesters. Anyhow, I hope you were able to see Peter Schiff tonight. And I thank you for not forgetting Peter's father, Irwin. Talk to you.
