Question: Anti-Income Tax Hart: Hero Or Goat?

Item: Idaho lawmaker reports IRS deal: Back-tax agreement means disclosure of book sales /Erica Curless, Spokesman-Review

More Info: A North Idaho lawmaker says he has reached an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service and has 60 days to provide additional financial information. The agreement brokered last week between Rep. Phil Hart, R-Athol, and the IRS averted Monday’s hearing before a U.S. District Court judge. Hart, who owes thousands of dollars in back taxes, instead will divulge the number of self-published books he has sold. He also will disclose the sales of Liberty Dollars – an alternative currency that its maker claims is a hedge against inflation because it’s made of silver.

Question: Do you consider state Rep. Phil Hart a hero or a goat for taking on the Internal Revenue Service over the income tax issue?
