The memoir of futures trader, investor seminar guru, and tax protestor Larry Williams

From the Boston Tea Party to the modern Tea Party movement, history is replete with examples of organized resistance to paying taxes. But it's not just large groups, as Henry David Thoreau was briefly jailed for refusing to pay taxes. Confessions of a Radical Tax Protestor: An Inside Expos} of the Tax Resistance Movement is the true story of another famous tax protestor-Larry Williams. From his arrest in Australia and extradition to the United States to his victorious fight against the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the book

Details why the famous money manager, high profile Libertarian, and father of actress Michelle Williams ultimately agreed to do PSAs for the IRS denouncing tax protests on an individual basis

From South Africa to Australia to the United States, Confessions of a Radical Tax Protestor is the incredible true story of one man's victorious fight for what he believed in.
Larry Williams has never backed away from authority, especially government authority - the U.S. or any other. Including two battles all the way to the Supreme Court. Libertarian, trader, would be politician, and Indiana Jones-like adventurer, Larry has gone wherever his spirit moved him and bucked state constraints whenever he found them stifling. Throughout his life, his rebellious spirit served him well - huge successes in trading, to adventures right out of a Graham Greene novel in Saudi Arabia, two boisterous runs for the U.S. Senate, a famous actress daughter entangled with an even more famous actor, a new grandchild - the life well lived that would be the envy of most people. Along the way, Larry became a tax protester in the spirit of John Cheek and Irwin Schiff. However, Larry was far too free a spirit to give up his freedom for his beliefs, and figured that he was smarter than the zealot tax protesters now making license plates, particularly after meeting a man with an actual and real document from the IRS acknowledging the legitimacy of a certain kind of trust. But things are not always what they seem. Annoying letters from the IRS called for hiring an attorney to "work things out," which he thought (based on the bills he was paying) was in the works. Enjoying a pleasant flight in first class from South Africa to Australia, Larry, at the age of 64 with a new granddaughter and 5 children settled in successful lives of their own, reflected that life was pretty sweet. Then his plane landed in Australia and he was summarily arrested and jailed and taken to prison There began a nearly 4 year fight for his freedom at a huge financial cost; worse was the toll it took on his psyche. This is the story of Larry s war with the IRS and U.S. Dept. of Treasury and inside view of the world of tax protesters. Larry explains why the tax protest movement exists, where it is dead wrong and why it will most often lead followers to prison. He also weighs in on what can be done to correct the unfairness of the tax codes, and why tax rates are so astronomical, that the fair share idea should be applied to what is the fair share of your income the government is entitled to.
