Tax Resistance to the Warfare State

Although I've left the Military Industrial Complex and am contributing to my peaceful local tourism-based economy, it's not as ballsy as this guy who's sticking it to the tax man!

Bryan Nelson's federal tax return says he owes $3,082. So he mailed his 1040 form to the IRS in time to meet today's filing deadline. But for the second year in a row, Nelson did not send what he owes.

His reason: "I wasn't going to pay for an illegal war in Iraq."

The U.S. imperial wars abroad are being financed through taxes and inflation and the blood of young men and women. We need more individuals to resist the machine in their own way, like Bryan Nelson above refusing to finance it and first lieutenant Ehren Watada refusing to pull the trigger.

The U.S. needs to divest its empire and toss off the vultures who profit from its decay to reemerge as a limited constitutional republic. Ron Paul 2008!
