‘Do Not Resist': A look at the normalization of warrior cops
That&#x27;s why I&#x27;m leaning more and more towards the idea that paying taxes is immoral and wrong in our current system.<p>And that is because a good chunk of the taxes we pay go towards arming young people and sending them to kill other young people - military&#x2F;war&#x2F;defence.<p>Another chunk goes towards arming your own people against your own people, thus making dissent and protest hard and dangerous.<p>And another chunk goes towards maintaining big and powerful institutions, like the IRS, threatening us with violence if we don&#x27;t pay up.<p>Centralised taxation systems should be replaced with citizen crowdfunding, in which everyone can choose where his tax money goes.<p>I&#x27;m curious if we&#x27;d still be spending as much on police and military if we could choose how we spend our taxes.
