Tax protester arguments are arguments made by people who contend that United States tax laws are unconstitutional or otherwise invalid.
Tax protester arguments are typically based on an asserted belief that the United States government is acting outside of its legal authority when imposing such taxes. The label "tax protester" should be distinguished from "tax resister", an individual who refuses to pay tax on moral rather than legal grounds.
This article discusses tax protester arguments with respect to the U.S. federal income tax.

Famous quotes containing the words tax and/or arguments:
“What is the difference between a taxidermist and a tax collector? The taxidermist takes only your skin.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“‘Tis happy, therefore, that nature breaks the force of all sceptical arguments in time, and keeps them from having any considerable influence on the understanding. Were we to trust entirely to their self-destruction, that can never take place, ‘till they have first subverted all conviction, and have totally destroy’d human reason.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
