Just how is it in the interest of the tax-paying American citizen to subsidize terrorists who hate us no matter how much 'shwag' is sent their way? For all of my adult life I have paid my taxes and felt pride that my money has been used to improve the world. But in the last eight years I now basically feel raped by the government who separates me for my money, supports my enemies, and asks me to bend over even more.
I am almost ready to support the movements which seek to abolish the income tax. The original founders of this country did not support raping the citizens by stealing their money and giving it to sworn enemies.
Is it possible to redirect taxes to where you want them to go? For example I saw this on wikipedia
Redirection[edit]
Some tax resisters refuse to pay all or a portion of the taxes due, but then make an equivalent donation to charity. In this way, they demonstrate that the intent of their resistance is not selfish and that they want to use a portion of their earnings to contribute to the common good.
For instance, Julia Butterfly Hill resisted about $150,000 in federal taxes, and donated that money to after school programs, arts and cultural programs, community gardens, programs for Native Americans, alternatives to incarceration, and environmental protection programs. She said:
I actually take the money that the IRS says goes to them and I give it to the places where our taxes should be going. And in my letter to the IRS I said: "I'm not refusing to pay my taxes. I'm actually paying them but I'm paying them where they belong because you refuse to do so."[14]
Groups like the National Campaign for a Peace Tax Fund (United States), Peace Tax Seven (United Kingdom), Netzwerk-Friedenssteuer (Germany), and Conscience and Peace Tax International are working to legalize a form of conscientious objection to military taxation which would enable conscientious objectors to designate their taxes to be spent only on non-military budget items.[15][16] They see this as a legalized form of war tax redirection.
