Is there any way to ensure that my income tax will not be used to support war? I am looking for a legal method, NOT simple refusal to pay.

Don't work? Move to a country not involved in the war? Short of that, I do not think this is possible. There were some cases during the Vietnam era where people argued this in court. You might want to read US v. Seeger 380 US 163 (1965) and Welsh v. US 398 US 340 (1970) for more information on conscientious objector activities.

definite. via legalizing drugs and making them available and contained in the open ought to take the criminal ingredient out of drug dealing. They couldn't command a intense cost for something you need to get at 7/11. The smugglers must be out of a job and high quality guidelines would nicely be enforced. Who ought to favor to purchase drugs from a street thug that replaced into cut back with who-is acquainted with-what, even as there must be high quality, regulated drugs at your interior reach keep. the authorities is throwing too a lot funds on the "warfare on drugs" and attaining no longer something more beneficial than making some cartel overseas great rich. via legalizing and taxing, the money would nicely be re-couped.

If you make below a certain amount of money, you do not have to pay federal income taxes. My city has a bit of a "celebrity" that writes in to the papers (mostly the college newspaper) and advocates following his lifestyle. But you literally need to make next to nothing to avoid having to pay taxes. Good luck!

If there was a way for individuals to decide not to let there taxes be spent for specific federal expenditures, all 'entitlement programs' would be bankrupt by morning. That means any check from the government to an individual except paychecks and tax refunds would go away.

There are other things people would like to refuse to pay for, like abortion. The terrorists are happy seeing people like you, that is what they want to see, America being torn apart. Then, we will forget all about them and try to get all the antiwar people to shut up. Then they can sit around in Iraq again, and plot to take over the world. There are certain people who will go against war, understandably, it is a terrible thing. But why not focus your anger at the maniacs who are sending suicide bombers into public places??

Yeah, you can stand outside the White House and protest the war all day so that you won't have any income and then - poof! - you're not required to file.

No, there is no way to "earmark" your taxes for purposes you desire or away from purposes you oppose. The best way to register your opinion is to contact your representative and/or senator and VOTE.

Stop working and move out onto the street. If you have no income you'll pay no tax.
It is not possible to designate how your tax money is spent.

Nope. Your tax money goes to whatever congress decides it will go to.
