Like a person confronted with an armed robber on the street demanding money and telling you the money will be used to purchase new weapons to kill people, I embarrassingly fold to the threats of the IRS they graciously sent me in the mail.
I don’t want to pay for the military to continue killing people around the world at the behest of the military industrial complex.
I don’t want to pay for the CIA screwing with other countries and people.
I don’t want to pay for the CIA KILLING AMERICAN CITIZENS WITHOUT ANY SORT OF OVERSIGHT. (Didn’t people watch the Bourne Trilogy?)
But I will. I don’t want my stuff stolen and I don’t want to be hurt.
There is no difference between a person giving an armed robber money and a person giving the IRS money. Both are threatened with very real violence.
Actually, there is a difference. With an armed robber you have the option of defending yourself.
