Ever heard of "No Taxation Without Representation"? It applies to everyone who did not vote for George Bush in 2000 and in 2004 and here's why. Thousands of voters were denied the right to vote in these elections and that has already been proven. If their votes were not counted, then none of our votes had the impact they would have had in a fair election. Therefore, none of us have representation and none of us are bound by taxation.
This expert opinion was written after the Center for Constitutional Rights tried to take Don Rumsfeld to court in Germany for war crimes. It proves that we are paying taxes to a government that has made themselves immune from breaking the law. http://www.ccr-ny.org/v2/legal/september_11th/docs/ScottHortonGermany013105.pdf
How can you continue to support a criminal administration that has made law to immunize themselves from criminal activity? You have every right to cease paying criminals to spend your tax dollars for criminal behavior that they can never be accountable for committing. The only answer is to proceed without them and in spite of them.
We are starting a new government at the PCO and we will never use your tax money to fund a corporate war. Pay your taxes to an organization of social justice professionals that will use tax money only for peaceful and environmental purposes. If you want to join the tax protest movement, the PCO wants to help you. Send an email to us at taxprotest at politicalcooperative dot org and we will make sure that your tax protest is defended. We have to face the facts - the neocons will use any lie they can come up with to steal elections, steal land, and deny justice. The war in Iraq is a corporate war for corporate profit - is that what you want your tax money to pay for? It is time to stop pretending that democracy is alive in America - it has been bought and there is nothing left to do but start a new government with people who have already proven what they stand for. Join us. Click here to read about the history of tax protesters in response to war. While war is one reason to refuse to pay taxes, this administration has committed many additional crimes that demand our action to stop them in any way possible.
