A Plainfield, New Hampshire man called Ed, along with his loyal wife, refused to pay federal income taxes for an entire decade. Now he’s holed up in his castle and awaitin’ the sheriff.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - A former militia man convicted of tax evasion prepared for a government siege Friday at his fortress-like home, but U.S. marshals gave no indication they were planning to confront him.

Ed Brown said he was ready for a swarm of federal agents to descend on his property to execute an arrest warrant issued after he failed to appear for the end of his trial. He and his wife contend that they did not have to pay income taxes, and his supporters say a conflict could be violent.

“If Mexico came up on my land and tried to take my land, would I not fight?” Brown said. “The United States is the same exact thing as Mexico in this state.”

The government wouldn’t have problems like these if it would just repeal the sixteenth amendment to the Constitution and set its people free.
