Please read this blurb at the SPLC website:
The strange subculture of the sovereign citizens movement, whose adherents hold truly bizarre, complex antigovernment beliefs, has been growing at a fast pace since the late 2000s. Sovereigns believe that they get to decide which laws to obey and which to ignore, and they don't think they should have to pay taxes.

Then read this blog post about seasteading:
The proposal for a seastead - an autonomous oceanic colony; think homesteading, but wetter - took a significant step on Christmas Day, when a Silicon Valley group announced it had reached an agreement with the French Polynesian government, with officials poised to explore serving as the group’s host.
Seasteaders said it was a breakthrough that could change the world, but Taliercio worried that rich Americans simply wanted to use his home to dodge taxes.
“These millionaires,” he said, “lulled by an illusory desire to free themselves from the existing states, seem to have much more to gain than we do.”

It is THE RICH who believe they can decide which laws to ignore and who don't think they have to pay taxes. Why is SPLC so against "sovereign citizens" (who typically are poor) but oblivious to a similar threat from seasteaders (who typically are rich)? Is SPLC really a friend to the poor, or just another tax dodge for the rich?
