YOU are helping destroy the world...
Your tax dollars, your continued citizenship, your apathy...

All these things... If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

1. Tax Strike! How to Say No to War on April 15
http://www.earthisland.org/project/newsPage2.cfm?newsID=386&pageID=177&subSiteID=44

If you ask the average citizen to identify a famous American war-tax resister, most folks (if they came up with a name at all) would probably cite "Henry David Thoreau." But how about Joan Baez, Noam Chomsky or Gloria Steinem?

While the author of Walden Pond is remembered for the night he spent in a Massachusetts jail for refusing to pay a levy to support the Mexican-American war of 1846, his solitary protest was an anomaly. But 120 years later, Baez, Chomsky and Steinem were joined by more than 500,000 US citizens who openly opposed paying tax tribute to support Washington's bloody campaign in Vietnam.

Today, with tens of millions of Americans marching to protest the Bush administration's invasion of Iraq, the nonviolent tactic of war-tax resistance is gaining converts as tax day approaches on April 15.

----------

Well, maybe next year.
