Death and Taxes Film Produced by the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee2010, 30 minutes     If that’s not enough inspiration, it turns out there are legal ways to resist war tax. Eszter Freeman, of Sonoma County Taxes for Peace in California, paid her tax one year with a coffin to protest war in El Salvador. She included all the pertinent routing numbers, and the IRS cashed it, broken dolls, blood, and all. https://www.warresisters.org/win/win-winter-2010/death-and-taxes
