Some bits and pieces from here and there:

• I’m not the only one to notice that liberals seem to be more eager to feed the state than to defang it. David Swanson writes about the various liberal activist groups that seem to be crying out “Tax the Rich! Fund More Wars!” ↬
• Kyle Chandler-Isacksen at Friends Journal pens an amusing parable about the anti-war taxpayer. ↬
• Tamara Cushway asks readers to refuse to give your tax money for wars and occupations this year, and gives eleven suggestions for how to begin.
• John V. Walsh at Dissident Voice imagines the left and right coming together to Starve the Beast of Empire (Ax the Personal Income Tax).
