should be an option to raise or drop the amount of taxes one pays for the military...then we'd really see how much support this war really has That would have been a world wide tragedy in 1940. What the US needs is to stop the hysterics of the extreme left and right, and to sit down like adults to discuss the future of the country. To discuss exactly what the citizens want and expect from the government, and how to get it.

"I did a quick search and I did not find a way to specifically avoid paying war taxes." There is a way. It's not paying, and suffering the consequences. en.wikipedia.org centeronconscience.org "What other types of conscientious objectors are there? 3. CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS TO PAYING FOR WAR: These are people whose consciences forbid them to pay the military portion of their taxes because of ethical, moral and religious beliefs. Many impoverish themselves by living below taxable levels, others suffer garnishment, court appearances, property loss, and, in some cases, imprisonment. If provision for conscientious objectors to paying war taxes is enacted, most of them will be able to pay all their taxes without this agonizing moral dilemma.
