Peter Schiff / Irwin Schiff: sonofa Tax Hero?

[Voluntary Man]

I was just wondering how many members of this forum were aware of this:

"Peter Schiff was born and raised in New Haven, Connecticut. His father, Irwin Schiff, is a prominent figure in the U.S. tax [honesty] movement, currently serving a 13-year sentence for tax evasion.[19] Peter Schiff attended Beverly Hills High School in California,[20] and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1987 with a Bachelor's degree in finance and accounting.[1]"

In Grassroots Central.....Really?

Every thread posted in Grassroots Central knocks down imporant grassroots projects and information. There are appopriate subforums for discussions like this.

EDIT: It's been moved, that was quick response mods :)

Sadly, Irwin Schiff's case illustrates the point that a person can be well intentioned and genuinely sincere, and STILL get the absolute sh*t kicked out of them by the Feds when the Feds want to make an example of someone. The higher your profile, the greater your chances are of becoming the next "example" hanging from the public whipping post.

Ya we tried to keep it kinda hush hush during his 2010 senate campaign, but it has been discussed quite a bit.
