Today’s episode reveals the unbelievable tale of Martin Birk, a Colorado businessman who went from log home salesperson to tax protester, and ultimately was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Birk started off as an honest businessman, filing his taxes each year, and running a thriving log homes business. When he took a business class at a local college, he got the wrong idea from something said by one of his professors about making sure tax laws apply to your specific income. He interpreted this as an indictment of the entire U.S. tax system and started to get involved with some really shady tax protester organizations like We The People.
