Talk:Tax protester history in the United States

message: There was a notable tax avoider during the 60s who should be mentioned, but I don't remember his name. He took a novel and very principled route to avoid contributing to the Vietnam war. He avoided taxes by avoiding making money. He lived off the land, bartered for goods, and basically lived a life of poverty in order to keep his income below the threshold that would require taxation. I'm trying to learn his name. If anybody knows who I'm talking about, please let me know. He may have been connect to a 1 or 2 term pacifist congressman. I'm not sure if he was the congressman or if it was his father, but my memory is fuzzy on this point. While his actions were perfectly legal, it was all done in protest against war. —MiguelMunoz (talk) 18:52, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you're right that he's notable, but wrong in that it's not related to "tax protesters" as currently perceived.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 08:11, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing tax avoider 

message: It appears to me that referencing newly legislated British taxes as 'illegal taxes' but not post-independence taxes is inconsistent and implies that there was some wrong-doing on the part of the British that did not occur post-independence. This is plainly wrong and I would suggest that 'illegal taxes' be replaced with 'increased taxes' or 'newly implemented taxes'.
Reference to British Taxes
"The first wave of protests attacked the Stamp Act of 1765, and marked the first time Americans from each of the 13 colonies met together and planned a common front against illegal taxes" 
References to Post-Independence Taxes
"In 1794, settlers in western Pennsylvania responded to a federal tax on liquor with the Whiskey Rebellion"
"The Civil War saw the enactment of the first federal income tax"
"Anger at the Tariff of 1828 led South Carolina to reject the federal law"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.15.101 (talk) 19:13, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I deleted the word "illegal." The colonists (or at least many of them) contended that the taxes were illegal; the British (or many of them) contended the taxes were legal. Famspear (talk) 22:13, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Can't we just say, then, that they were protesting against taxes they considered to be illegal? bd2412 T 22:20, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Some people under the "Notable tax protesters" section title area have pages and some do not.
Should articles about Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons or other types of pages be made for some of these people or books by these people?
I found some links for a Larken Rose, though I do not yet know if some books published by a person and videos made count as Notability under the  Wikipedia notability guidelines or if a book made meets the Notability_(books) guidelines.

I did not check these videos yet to see if there are any problems in them, though these may be under "Public Domain Mark 1.0" according to the details in the page of archive.org so these are compatible with both the "CC BY-SA 4.0 License" and the "GFDL" if these are in the public domain.
The book shows a note about copyright but likely only in the (c)2012 ISBN 978-1-62407-169-0  edition, so I do not know about this book link. Or if this is the same Larken Rose as who is in this article.
I did not search for many of the other people under the "Notable tax protesters" section yet to see if those people meet any article guidelines.
I did see that some other people may have "Works" section title area about books, though those people may also be notable for other things as well.
