Book Banning in the Fascist USA.

LAS VEGAS - A federal judge ordered a man who claims that tax paying is voluntary in the United States to stop selling his book and giving seminars.
Irwin Schiff is the author of "The Federal Mafia: How It Illegally Imposes and Unlawfully Collects Income Taxes," and offers paid seminars on the topic. Schiff said the judge's temporary order violates his First Amendment rights.
"Banning a book! The government is trying to prevent me from telling the truth about the income tax," the 75-year-old said Thursday.
Department of Justice (news - web sites) lawyer Evan Davis said Schiff advised people to file false income tax returns listing zero income and zero liability, and had 3,100 clients attempting to evade $56 million in taxes. Davis called it one of the largest tax scams in U.S. history.
The judge issued the temporary order against Schiff on Wednesday and will decide April 7 whether to make it permanent.
