"We are becoming a weak nation," said Voight, calling Obama a "false prophet." Republicans need to find their way back to power to free the nation from "this Obama oppression," he said.
That's ballsy. Of course, his daughter was just ranked the most powerful celebrity on the planet, so maybe he has the ability to get away with stuff like this? (On a sidenote, the rumor is that her political beliefs aren't too far from her father.)
I like that even the politicians present knew what Voight making such statements meant:
"I’m still just reveling that someone from Hollywood made a speech like that. I hope you’re going to be able to find work after this," said McConnell. "I really enjoyed that."

The guy who voiced Mr. Incredible and was Coach in "Coach," I am blanking on his name, recently said some of the same things, and said he was done paying taxes to this government. When asked if he was afraid of going to jail, he said, "I AM going to jail."

Let me just say that not paying your taxes because you disagree with the policies is pretty much on par with the "I'm moving out of the country if he wins this election" we heard from Barbara Streisand and Alec Baldwin.
Although, if Craig T. Nelson actually goes through with his statement I'll respect him a hell of a lot more than Baldwin or Streisand, neither of whom kept their word.

If rural folk living in backwoods middle of nowhere get armed federal agents when they refuse to pay taxes, I'm sure more public folk would be taken care of.

He was speaking to California's taxes rather than the Federal governments'. At least, that's what he's fed up with. Now he didn't specify which taxes he wouldn't pay, but I was assuming he was talking about the state's.
