Episode 22 CA mom, victim of literal "taxation is theft" scheme, fights back

Christi Grab was just your average American mom, wife, and caregiver to sick parents when her world was turned upside down by the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB).

After being erroneously told the FTB had “lost” several of their quarterly tax payments to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars, Christi spent over 10 years fighting the FTB to rectify their account and be refunded the monies they had overpaid in the process of trying to sort it out.

During the ordeal, after having to learn to navigate the whole labyrinthine bureaucracy of the CA tax system, Christi uncovered numerous fraud, racketeering, and extortion schemes that the CA FTB is engaged in. She ultimately took her case to the Superior Court of California where she acted as her own lawyer to litigate her case.

Did she prevail? You’ll have to watch the episode to hear how all this played out! While her particular case has been resolved, Christi has spent the last 5 years continuing to hold the FTB to account and helping others do the same.

This is the wild true story of a literal “taxation is theft” scheme that will make any libertarian’s blood boil.
