And, in this world, resistance is imperative.

However, from that perspective, I think some peace activists do not make enough money, at least not enough to owe federal taxes. If I were “in danger” of falling below the taxable level and couldn’t figure out a way to earn more, I’d be willing to declare sufficient extra income (even if bogus) on my 1040 form to show a tax due, which I would openly refuse to pay.

He’s cool, he hates asking for money. It is not only obvious, he has said so before…who does like to ? It’s just necessary though, to remind us of the importance of giving to just causes. I was going to increase my nominal amount, and may still, but I can’t forget NWTRCC…especially after the dissolution of the fund I was contributing to that helps war tax resisters. Thanks Ruth, I’ll have to cut out ice cream for my New Years resolution ! Lol…Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays to all. There, no PC police can get me now 🙂
P.S. I have received several letters from our friends at the IRS, and the last one was certified. I will ignore “until the cows come home”.
