I guess it all depends on how important principle is to you.

I had a neighbor who got hooked up with one of those "income taxes are illegal" groups. He lost his house, and last I heard he was living in a rented mobile home.

However, he still maintains that he is right, and shouldn't have to pay income taxes. On principle he may be right, however my experiences with the IRS have shown me that they seldom, if ever, lose a battle.
