(DemocracyNow.org) Tax Day: While millions rush to meet deadline, RESISTERS continue longstanding refusal to fund WAR
Smurfs know: "Fight War, Not Wars" |

The IRS has a secret slogan: "We're not happy until you're not happy." They never say it more than in April, a month which begins with April Fools' Day but culminates with Tax [Deadline] Day.
Today is April 15th, Tax Day in north America, when millions of US citizens scramble to file their income taxes on time. But it’s also a day when people across the country are planning to protest the use of tax dollars to fund WAR
In dozens of communities across the country, demonstrations are planned at IRS offices, federal buildings, and weapons factories to protest ongoing massive U.S. government expenditures on internationally illegal drones (automated assassins),
missiles, and bombs.

According to a new pie chart released by the War
Resisters League, 47 percent of federal taxes goes toward war in some
form or the other. To protest paying for lethal weapons, some Americans
are taking a stand by personally refusing to fund the military.
These tax resisters are risking jail time by withholding all or a
portion of their federal income taxes, instead redirecting the money
to humanitarian efforts. Democracy Now! speaks with Ed Hedemann
of the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee. He has
redirected the federal portion of his tax bill to nonprofits and
humanitarian efforts for 40 years.
Is there a law that requires Americans to pay income taxes? Please show it to me.
Neither left-wing nor right-wing, this startling examination exposes the systematic erosion of civil liberties in America. We go from freedom to fascism. Aaron Russo talks with former Chief Counsel and IRS Commissioner Sheldon Cohen, author of the tax code!
Many will not believe what is being said. The US does not want us know know any of this. Hey, look, Justin Bieber signing Anne Frank's guest book! Is that Katy Perry at Coachella? Did you hear Lindsay Lohan may be going to prison?
Article
XVI, which gives Congress the "power" to have a federal income tax,
was found to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL by the Supreme Court! How can Congress ratify anything that was found unconstitutional is beyond us. More
