I remember in the 90s when I worked with a 1%er who believed in the sovereign citizen shit,. He was able to get out of legally paying state taxes, but he could never get that damn federal government to send him the required paperwork to get out of federal taxes. In other words this guy is lying to you. The federal gubmint would never allow you to get away with this nonsense, they will hang you on it eventually. Go ahead and try. If you like fed goons all over your shit, I dare you, have at it.
