Tax evaders taken into custody

(CNN) -- A pair of convicted tax evaders was taken into custody without incident Thursday evening after a five-month-long standoff with federal agents in New Hampshire, a federal law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN.

Ed and Elaine Brown, who had refused to surrender to authorities to serve their prison sentences, were taken into custody by U.S. Marshals at about 8:00 p.m. The Browns had been holed up in their concrete-reinforced home in Plainfield, N.H.

They were convicted of evading $1.9 million in taxes -- a crime punishable by up to five years in prison. The Browns were sentenced in absentia on April 24, 2007.

Throughout the ordeal, the Browns insisted there was no valid law that requires them to pay income taxes.

I've heard this claim before. Can anyone tell me where the law says we have to pay income taxes... just curious.

I wonder how much they actually owe in taxes and how much of this 1.9 Million is interest and penalty.

Its amazing how fast the government can run a few hundred bucks into millioms with interest and penaltis.
