Working for the Man: Anti-government extremists who cash government paychecks

An interesting pair of news stories crossed my desk this week.
In North Carolina, a jury convicted a 62-year old woman named Gloria Tatum-Wade on seven counts of state income tax evasion.  According to news reports of the trial, Ms. Tatum-Wade had filed a document with Guilford County claiming that she was exempt from all taxes because she was a sovereign citizen.  Her employer?  Until this brush with the law, the self-professed sovereign was a public school teacher at Northeast Guilford High School.
