Michael Badnarik Biography

Michael Badnarik is one of the most popular and richest Radio Personality who was born on August 1, 1954 in Hammond, Indiana, United States. He raised almost $450,000 for his campaign, and was nominated by the Libertarian Party of Texas for its 10th District Congressional candidate.

Badnarik declared his candidacy in February 2003 for the Libertarian Party’s Presidential Nomination. He spent 18 months touring the country teaching courses on the United States Constitution and other libertarian groups. Badnarik published a book entitled Good To Be King (ISBN 1-59411-096-4), which covers the topic of constitutional law. The book was self-published at first, but it was finally released in hardcover in October 2004.

One of his key statements on income tax is that the United States grew to be the most powerful nation in the Universe without requiring such a tax, and that it began to falter when the government began to intervene in the economy and individuals’ lives. In the past, he has stated that refusing to file a tax return is justifiable until the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides a legal reason for doing so (see Federal statutes imposing obligations to pay income taxes and file returns). However, in his book Good to Be King he writes, “I do not know if Americans are liable to pay income taxes.” In an August 2004 interview with the journal Liberty, Badnarik stated that he had not filed tax returns for approximately the previous three years as he was unemployed. However, he said he had contacted the IRS to find out his tax liability and to settle up on any taxes he owed. This was an effort to make his then-campaign to be the President of the United States go more smoothly.

Badnarik received 397,265 votes nationwide in the November 2, 2004 election, taking 0.32 percent of the popular vote and placing fourth, 68,385 votes behind Ralph Nader but 12,834 vote better than the party’s 2000 election results. Badnarik spent most of early 2005 touring the nation and giving speeches. He also taught a class on the U.S. Constitution, using his experiences on the campaign trail to develop his lesson plan.

Badnarik was a Libertarian when he ran for public office for the first time in

2000. He received 15,221 votes (16.88%) for a race in Texas’s 47th district legislature. He ran for the District 48 seat in 2002, receiving 1,084 votes or 2.24%.

Michael J. Badnarik, /bae d’ na: rI k/ bad-NAR-ik, is an American software engineer and political figure. He was born August 1, 1954. In 2004, he was the Libertarian Party’s nominee for President. He finished fourth behind Ralph Nader, John Kerry, and two other major party candidates, George W. Bush, and John Kerry. Badnarik was a Libertarian Party candidate for the Texas 10th congressional district seat in 2006. Badnarik was third in a field of three candidates, with 7,603 votes, or 4.3%.

Badnarik also raised the tax protester argument, that the 1986 Internal Revenue Code is “non-positive” and applies only to certain groups. He also cited Brushaber v. Union Pacific Railroad as an example of a Supreme Court decision in which the Court stated that the Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution didn’t give Congress any additional power it did not already have. He also claims that the Sixteenth Amendment wasn’t properly ratified. He cites the two-volume book The Law that Never Was, coauthored by William J. Benson.

After the 2004 election, Badnarik, working with Green Party candidate David Cobb, sought a recount of the Ohio vote. This caused a great deal of controversy within the Libertarian Party, as second place candidate John Kerry had not contested the vote in Ohio, and a recount would cost the state an estimated $1.5 million of tax-payer money. Some party members were concerned that a recount would damage the public perception of the Libertarian party.
