Some how that made me think of during hurricane katrina a lady said she would not donate if any of the goods went to black people.

But the point is...... not saying you're comment was racist, just an example... that we wont always agree to what our money goes to. Some experimenting or testing you dont like. Research in Nasa you might not agree with. A jail you dont want put up near your house. Just because you don't like something doesnt mean to cut off and cause more trouble for yourself.

And government and the people rely on eachother.

Also... without bad in the world what would we know what was good? We have to have a equal balance and so I wouldnt exaclty say the world was evil.

I understand you're opinion and I used to think the same way... I still dont have to pay taxes, will soon probably.


lol and doesnt matter you're age if you can make a difference in something. Just make sure you do research on the subject before trying to protest it. (just stating this on any subject)

Perhaps i phrased that in the wrong way. i mean something i feel is at it's core morally wrong. like Thoreau, and the American-Mexican War, which was clearly morally wrong.

And im not saying that evil would be wiped out, just massive corruption that resulted in total abuses of power like in this case.

We'd go down with them, if not, first.

You can't control where your taxes go, but you can think that theres one huge bank for the government, you just deposited $1,000, and then the next day, a family is going to get $1,000 worth of food stamps, maybe your money didn't go directly to that, but it contributed.

The longest you can go without paying taxes if 4 years I believe.

There ARE, however, programs where your money will go more directly to the people who need it. If you pay 1000 dollars to the gov, for example, i doubt more than 1-10 dollars of that will acctually go towards someone who needs it. The rest will go to the government, the unjust wars, the nuclear war programs, and the giant corporations that are in their pockets. Why not donate to charity programs that acctually make a difference?
