Support tax resistance [1]
[]
Date: 2024-11
So you spend some time learning from groups like the War Resisters League and others who have done tax resistance as an act of conscience. You hear stories from people like Robin Harper, who documented every penny that he would have owed the IRS — but, as a lifelong Quaker and pacifist — refused to send his money to support war efforts. He never paid a penny or a fine since 1958. When the IRS knocked on his door, he welcomed them in and showed them his meticulous records of redirecting his money to good causes. Tax resistance may be purely symbolic — for example, reducing payment by $1 in protest. Or it might mean refusing to pay all taxes and instead donating that money to support positive causes like Robin did.
