All about Bob Schultz, who runs that "foundation": quatlosers.com Bob Schultz As part of our 100Q set that commemorates tax scam artists, we add Bob Schultz, who currently runs "We the People". In addition to getting out the words on tax protestor strategies guaranteed to win a visit to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, "We the People" shamelessly markets Interactive CD-ROMs on the unofficial "Truth in Taxation Hearings" for $29.95 and Bob Schultz's own "Tax Termination Package" for $39.95 containing various materials that Bob has sent the IRS and Congress over the years (and which undoubtedly were immediately placed into "File 13" where they belong). "We the People" is also associated with indicted tax scammer and fellow Quatlooser Lynne Meredith. But not withstanding the indictment, "We the People" has continued to be one of the most aggressive marketers of bogus materials, going so far as to run full-page advertisements in USA Today (which you can -- shock -- also buy reprints of). They also sell phone services and similar junk more befitting of a bad multi-level marketing website than a group which purports to be political in nature. But cheesy is as cheesy does. For his part, Bob Schultz has put on a show worthy of any professional wrestling extravaganza, threatening the IRS to arrest him (this was predictably toned down after Lynne Meredith was indicted) and even going on a hunger strike to draw attention to himself. Does Bob himself really believe this junk or is he just another 2-bit scammer with a penchant for wild marketing? Although Bob is obviously a few fries short of a Happy Meal, it is also evident that he is trying to make as much moolah as possible before the door slams on him too. Notably, to try to squelch criticism and keep the scam alive, "We the People" have attacked websites such as Quatloos! that have criticized them, including signing us up for literally tens-of-thousands of spam e-mail messages (thank goodness for spam blockers!). Childish, but perfectly in tune with this scam.

"Here is something to remind you how cartoonish you are:" So says the cartoon. Umm, look. Anyone with a functional cerebrum would realize that the one on the left was issued along time ago. The fact that it is typed should be a clue. The alleged "photoshopped" version was printed on a laser printer. Just like they do now when you request a copy. In fact, if you look at a clear picture of the one on the right, you can see where it had been stamped on the back and some of the ink has bled through. In addition, the state of Hawaii claims that to be a valid copy.
