Despite all of those reservations, I think war tax resistance is a critical part of building the movement of mass resistance of various forms that we need right now. I encourage everyone to carefully consider it, and to consider being part of a support community for those engaged in it, whether or not you engage in it yourself. Movements are growing to resist home foreclosures and to resist the repayment of student loans. Resistance of war taxes -- of this machine that eats half of federal discretionary spending every year while funneling our money to those who already have too much -- should be an integral part of a broader movement of resistance to financial injustice. Those who've been doing it for decades have much to teach.
