Don't Pay Taxes

Taxes Fund War Instead of Social Services



In Civil Disobedience, Henry David Thoreau said:

"Cast your whole vote, not a strip of paper merely, but your whole influence. A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority; it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole weight. If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose. If a thousand men were not to pay their tax-bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay [the State], and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood. This is, in fact, the definition of a peaceable revolution, if any such is possible."


Don't let a government steal from you, especially to fund needless wars! Keep your money! Don't pay taxes! Civilly Disobey!
