The catch is the IRS doesn't care and will seize all your property and possibly throw you in jail if you refuse to pay.Talk about a buzzkill.

Reviews for America: Freedom To Fascism
Russo's brand of libertarianism is at best naive and at worst tin-foil-hat crazy.
10/05/06
Top CriticJust as the film’s arguments start growing persuasive, Russo (who also narrates the movie) undermines his work by freefalling into a tangled web of all-out conspiracy-mongering.
07/27/06
Yes, America: Freedom To Fascism gives the Michael Moore muckraking-underdog treatment to the kind of delirious conspiracy theories generally associated with mentally ill homeless people screaming at passersby to stop stealing their brainwaves.
07/27/06
A hurricane of accusations and grievances, supported by repetitive, droning sound bites.
07/28/06
As if anticipating bad reviews, Russo ends his scattershot assault with a preemptive strike against the media: 'It's just the Federal Reserve System trying to save itself.' If you buy that line, then I'm the great-grandson of a 1913 conspirator.

Aaron Russo's America: Freedom to Fascism can't even think straight, it's so mad.

Top CriticThis movie is so humorless that it makes you wax nostalgic for the good old days when Michael Moore was sticking it to the man.
08/04/06
"America: Freedom To Fascism" captures America's current gloom and doom zeitgeist with plenty of controversial ideas to send any dinner party into a shouting match.
04/21/09
An unconvincing doc that hardly justifies the view that the U.S. is headed toward fascism.

There is food for thought here. But Russo loses his grasp on the material once he expands his focus.
10/06/06
Even the staunchest and most forgiving of Libertarians would have to admit that this film comes up quite short.

repetitive and completely self-serving, with Russo making a serious of specious arguments that are largely laughed at by his serious subjects
04/02/07
Lies, damn lies and statistics. It's pure propaganda.
08/05/06
While the film -- which Russo produced, directed, edited and wrote -- has some fascinating and compelling arguments, it quickly assumes the tone of an angry diatribe rather than a well-reasoned political discussion.
08/07/06
If America: From Freedom to Fascism is right only 10 percent of the time, we're in big trouble.
07/28/06
Essentially the filmmaking equivalent of an enraged blog on the Web -- pointed and provocative, but not exactly a comprehensive source for the issues it addresses.
09/28/06
Russo feels his direction of this film is a brave, seditious deed. The audience I was surrounded by at an advance screening agreed.
