"IRS agents lie, commit crimes, and destroy families," maintains attorney Michael Minns (The Underground Lawyer), who would like to see our federal tax-collecting institution disbanded. In How to Survive the IRS: My Battles Against Goliath, which features a preface by U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (who has voted for the abolition of the IRS), Minns provides a brief history of taxation in the U.S., urges radical reform and memorably recounts his confrontations with the IRS on behalf of clients. The most practical part of this inflammatory and informative work is the description of 100 tax secrets, which may help offset the book's substantial cover price. 15-city author tour.

"Working in the tradition of the framers is attorney Michael Louis Minns. He has defended many Americans against the depredations of the tax police, and argued for a fair and constitutional system in place of the personal income tax."
Ron Paul, MD - United States Congressman, 14th District
"Tax-and-Spend Members of Congress and their shrill media allies proclaim that 'tax cheating' is rampant and on the rise because of recent IRS reforms. Michael Minns provides prima facie evidence against those who would like to make us think we've gone 'too far' in trying to rein in IRS abuse and change the way we tax our citizens."
John Berthoud - President, National Taxpayers Union
"In a criminal tax case the government claims it wins 97% of the time. One lawyer, Michael Minns, leaves the field behind defending taxpayers against the IRS. Winning 90% of the time. His record is so good there is no second place. How To Survive the IRS gives you the inside story."
Paul DeFosses, CPA - Author of IRS Target and IRS: Agency Out of Control & Self-Employed and a former IRS agent and Former President of the IRS Whistle Blowers of America
"If you are accused of a tax crime, and you don't have Michael Minns or this book, pack your toothbrush, and tell the family you're going to be a guest of the Feds for a while."
