Wouldn’t it be great if we could fund only what we value.
This guy is also a liar...

Twenty years ago, Gary Erb decided the federal government spent too much on guns and not enough on the needs of Americans.
He hasn’t paid income tax since.
An individual who makes $7,800 - more or less - a year isn’t required to pay taxes.
Erb recently told about 30 people who attended his workshop on tax avoidance that he lives lean enough to avoid taxes legally.
He relies on part-time jobs, owns no car and lives simply, he said.
“My major expense is rent. That takes up half or more of my income,” Erb said.

Erb: Don’t pay taxes that fund the war
By Gary Erb
Saturday, March 31, 2007
You pay for war every day you work. Half your income tax is appropriated for war and war debts. The Chinese banks and rich investors who buy the debt are banking on your spending your career paying them more than you will pay to educate your children. George Bush is bent on expanding his war into Iran and Syria. The moral issues of paying war taxes and the issues respecting resisting them must be faced. Here are the issues most often raised.
“While our troops are there, we must support them.” Three out of four of those troops say they should not be there. To stamp out resistance, they must burst into homes in the middle of the night, hold families at gunpoint, ransack the house, take the men away to hell holes, and do other things that make them hated. The resistance thrives on the hate. U.S. troops survive a tour only to go back and be killed. Their replacements are more youth desperate for work and college money.
