Wouldn’t it be great if we could fund only what we value.
A bit high, I would think. I'd like to withhold the part of mine that goes to anything but military and law enforcement. That would be considerably more than 50%.
And to the retarded hippie tax cheat in the article, only about $0.22 on your tax dollar goes to defense, you just shortchanged all those welfare and entitlement programs you hold so dear.
Mmmm.... your tears sustain me.
Yippee! The rest of us that think Entitlement" programs are immoral also then don't have to pay the 75% of the federal budget that goes to those programs.
What a great idea.
Think I’ll refuse to pay my share of taxes that
supports PBS, the NEA and Planned Parenthood,
NAFTA, ACLU, Stem Cell Research, Africa Aids
Relief, PLO, ...
This will end badly.
These guys aren’t very bright. The IRS still gets their money plus the penalties.
What kind of formulation is that? Is there a law that permits me to refuse to poke my eye with a stick?
If they want to say that filing is mandatory, that's fine -- but the wording here is tortured,
I think the IRS still prefers to go after conservative tax protestors, but you have to be really dumb to tell them that you are protesting income taxes.
It hasn’t happened recently, but just about every year at about this time they send out the black helicopters or some similar equivalent and gun down the folks who don’t pay taxes. There’s no more grievous offense in government eyes, because their own salaries are at risk.
They are doing the right thing for the wrong reasons.
1040 taxes do not pay for the military, corporate taxes do.
1040 taxes pay for interest on the national debt and for waste.
Social Security is paid by FICA.
Medicare is paid by the Medicare Tax.
Roads are paid by gas taxes.
Schools and education are paid by local taxes.
The 1040 taxes are unnecessary, unconstitutional and are snuck in as a scam on the American people for 90 years.
This is not a radical vocalization of what everyone has come to accept as ‘normal’. Personally I pay my 1040 taxes because the government has the guns. But I have a vote and the internet.
To understand the true nature of the problem, view the following film produced by an award-winning Hollywood director (you will need a high-speed internet connection). It is high quality and filled with reputable credible individuals that tie together the whole story in an entertaining and educational manner:

Watch every minute of it, all the way to the end. It is very unifying.
We all need to be aware and unified on this.
Okay. So, withhold the half that goes to defense, then double the remainder so twice as much goes to the social programs that you're so happy to pay for. Problem solved.
When you can hire an accountant to help you find every deduction to pay the least amount possible then no one really pays hteir fair share. That wont happen until we have a flat tax or a get rid of th income tax and go to a sales tax only.
Two years in Leavenworth would cure Mr. tax scofflaw.
Agreed. Let the conservatives fund crime, defense, national security, protection of borders, etc.
Let the liberals fund welfare, abortion, legal bills for illegal aliens, etc.
Let's see who's money runs out first.
I pulled into a parking space on Tuesday evening. The car I faced (a decomposing mid-80s Toyota) had a bumper sticker on the front which said “I Do NOT Pay War Taxes!” along with some other info from some resistance group and a telephone number. I pulled out a sheet from my Franklin Planner and wrote: “A more accurate bumper sticker for your car would state ‘I CHEAT ON MY TAXES but since I probably don’t have any tax liability anyway the IRS just doesn’t waste it’s time investigating me! Call 1-800-D1P-SH** to learn more!”. I folded it, tucked it under the wiper, and was tempted to wait and see what kind of misfit would come back to find it. I briefly considered pulling out and backing my car into the space so that the patriot would see my “It will be a great day when all children go to private schools and the money wasted on public education goes to building bombers!” smiley stealth sticker but concluded I’d probably end up getting my car keyed...
Unless you are willing to shed blood and have your blood shed to preserver freedom, you will never have it or bestow it upon fututre generations.
It is clear that those in power, have no intention of repealing forever the income tax. People need to start saying no and backing it up.
Morally speaking they should learn the golden rule :
He who has the gold makes the rules.
And its corrolary :
He who has the guns takes the gold.
So since the IRS has more muscle than the scofflaws....
Morally they are going to loose ...........
Yeah.... like welfare moms.
The system is designed to entrap people. The entire populace of the United States should be refusing to pay until something gets done about this abomination.
