The war in Iraq is completely out of control, unjust and immoral. The US military has killed HUDREDS of thousands of innocent iraqis for no reason except that the power holders and corporations in the US want the OIL at any cost. It is doing us, the people of the US, absolutely NO GOOD. One of the best ways to fight back and get the message across is easy and fun: STOP PAYING TAXES. its easy and it really works. since 1990 there has been only one person prosecuted for war tax resistance and there is a great organization that will give you the information on how to become a war tax resistor, its an honorable and effective way to protest: National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee http://www.nwtrcc.org What Is War Tax Resistance? Very simply, it is refusal to pay some or all of federal taxes that pay for war. In the U.S. war tax resisters choose to refuse some or all of their federal income tax and/or the federal excise tax on local and long distance telephone service. Income taxes and excise taxes are deposited by the government into the general fund and at least half of those monies help to pay for the military budget, including all types of weapons of war and weapons of mass destruction. Individuals take many roads to war tax resistance: some are protesting a particular war; some find it against their religious convictions to knowingly support war; some are horrified by massive U.S. military spending while human needs go unmet; some are or would be conscientious objectors if called to military service and, therefore, feel they cannot in good conscience pay for something they would refuse to do themselves. Most war tax resisters are motivated by a combination of reasons such as these and actively work for peace in many other ways too. War tax resistance is an act of civil disobedience with a long history in the U.S. The most well-known war tax resister was Henry David Thoreau. While those of us who refuse to pay war taxes believe — and some cite in international law — this refusal is just and imperative, the federal government, through the Internal Revenue Service, considers refusal to pay these taxes illegal, and there are potential consequences through the IRS collection system. For most of us who resist, the dire consequences of voluntarily paying for war are far worse that what the IRS and government can do to us individually. War tax resisters are not out to enrich their own pockets. Some live below the taxable income to avoid as fully as possible participating in war-making. Others who refuse to pay taxes to the federal government give that money to groups that use it for human needs here in the U.S., aid and relief work in war-torn regions, peacemaking, or international cooperation. There are many ways to resist war taxes, and many resources are available. Please look through this website, follow the links below for more details, and contact a counselor or group near you.
