Tax protesters report more interest since war began
This kind of thing was tried back in the VietNam War days, and is just as wrong now as it was back then. Holding back our tax money as a protest against certain government programs or projects is not how things work in this country. Otherwise we could all come up with plenty of reasons to reduce our own tax payments. All of us disagree with some of the things the Feds spend our tax dollars on. It isn't our place as commoners to make those decisions. We elect Rulers who sit on their thrones in DC and make the important decisions on how much wealth to confiscate from the populace and where to spend it. The only way to change how the money is spent is to elect Rulers who agree with as many of your own priorities in this regard as possible. Nobody will be a 100% match; but we can do a lot better than the gang in there right now. Holding back part or all of your tax payments as a kind of line item veto over certain spending will accomplish nothing more than richly deserved torture from the IRS.
