Jim Bob Duggar Welcomes Tax Dodger Home From Prison

Posted by | July 11, 2015 07:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly


Creationist and tax dodger Kent Hovind got a warm welcome from Jim Bob Duggar who rode with him back from federal prison.

Hovind’s son, Eric, posted a photo of himself on Facebook riding in the back of a van with his father, his wife, and Duggar, and another post showed the creationist minister enjoying ice cream with his wife at Dairy Queen after stopping for fried chicken.

Hovind was convicted in 2006 of structuring – that is, systematically withdrawing just under $10,000 from the bank to avoid currency reporting – and failing to file payroll returns for his employees, but he presents himself as a victim of an IRS attempt to silence his creationist views.

However, online videos and court records indicate Hovind is a tax protester who has engages in a variety of schemes cooked up by the sovereign citizen movement.

He claims in one online video that he had not filed an individual income tax return for 28 years and argues that most Americans are not obligated to pay income taxes…

He also tried a variety of maneuvers to avoid paying income taxes, including filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy, attempting to renounce his U.S. citizenship, arguing that all of his possessions belonged to God, challenging Social Security as a “Ponzi scheme,” and disputing the legitimacy of U.S. laws.

    Even Jesus said we should pay our taxes: “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s…” Once again, phony christians follow their own set of “rules.” Paying taxes is for chumps. And I say he should be allowed to revoke his citizenship, with one condition: He has to become a citizen of Somalia.

    Criminal creationists traveling in groups. Birds of a feather flocking together. Or should I say feathered dinosaurs of a feather, flocking together?

      If you convince them that birds are related to dinosaurs, they’ll just say that it’s proof that man and dinosaurs co-existed.

    I think the Jewish people should file a class action lawsuit for theft and misuse of intellectual property.

    There are lots of people that think Americans are not obligated to pay income taxes…

    The jails are full of them.

      I think more people get away with not paying taxes then we would like to think, one word….bundy. We have more people locked up for having a dime bag of weed then for not having paid millions in back taxes.

    why wasn’t he granted his request to drop his citizenship? Seems like the perfect solution for ridding the nation of an absolute moron.
