The most unpopular subject on the DU? War tax resistance [View All]

"Let them march all they want, as long as they continue to pay their taxes." --Alexander Haig

I've seen the subject header, "war tax resistance," splayed across the GD forum at least several dozen times in the last four years, and very few managed to accrue more than five responses.

It seems apparent that while most of us are opposed to our government's war against the world's children, precious few are actually willing to stop funding it. The war tax is the one thing that binds us with the conservative populace we have such disdain for--we are all complicit on some level, regardless of any ethos we may harbor. In retrospect, it is understandable why threads such as this sink like a stone.

My intention is not to be confrontational (I myself have ***only recently*** considered this path of defiance), but there should be no shame in pointing out that those mortars, bombs and shells have our names written on them.
