Um...
Mark...There are a group of standing outside today who assert that no
law requires to pay taxes and that you will not answer their petition
to government...
ah as to whether
required pay tax....
Are they required [to]
pay taxes?
And what, what, what

Hart:
Lemme ah help here Dave..
Ah...
As you know there
any number of court cases that duh uh have been, have asserted our

look at the uh.. uh issues that we have there that respond to phony tax
schemes advising people that they don't have an obligation to to pay
taxes.
So there's alot of
information out there and a lot of information on
our website that should assist anybody that has any question about the
legality of taxes.
And there's plenty
of court cases that support our right to assert
And ah levy taxes
