The Shreveport Times
From the article:
"A Shreveport attorney who has challenged the government for years on the legality of filing federal income taxes has been acquitted on charges he failed to file returns. A federal jury unanimously found Tommy Cryer not guilty this week on two misdemeanor counts of failure to file."

Mr. Cryer showed the jury that the sixteenth amendment did not repeal the fourth amendment, and that he had no obligation whatsoever to report his personal business to government.

Also, the federal "income tax" is an excise tax, and not a direct tax upon the inhabitants of the States. An excise tax cannot be laid upon an individual as a direct tax.
