On today’s Radio Ranch, we dig into the nuts and bolts of contesting tax authority claims and the history that underpins them. I announce that Glenn Ambort has re‑edited and reopened “Taxation by Misrepresentation: The Truth About Taxes in Plain English” for download, and we walk through the backstory of how that research grew out of deep dives into 19th‑century cases like Murray’s Lessee v. Hoboken Land & Improvement Co. We also compare landmark citizenship decisions (Elk v. Wilkins, Wong Kim Ark, Dred Scott, and the Insular Cases) and how their reasoning shows up in modern fights over status and jurisdiction. Listeners share real‑world updates: Nancy reports a state refund victory in Virginia using 1040‑NR filings; others describe aggressive pushback from Minnesota revenue officials and how to respond with affidavits, administrative records, and prudent asset protection (trusts, not PMAs, for holding property). We close with practical next steps—where to study, how to document, and which primary sources to read—so you can stand your ground on paper and in process.'Euro Folk Radio (Network stream for Radio Ranch)': https://eurofolkradio.com/radio/'RadioSoapbox (affiliate site mentioned on-air)': https://radiosoapbox.com/'FreeConferenceCall (audience participation platform)': https://www.freeconferencecall.com'Murray’s Lessee v.
