Miscellaneous tax resisters → individual war tax resisters → Mary “Irv” Irvine

The Morning Sun of central Michigan profiles tax resister Mary “Irv” Irvine:

“I decided to live a life of voluntary simplicity,” Irv said. “I hopefully find enough jobs, several jobs sometimes part-time, to at least put myself in the range of the working poor, so I’m not taking from the system and making my own way as best I can, and yet I get most of my taxes they take out back. This is how I’ve made my livelihood over intentionally.”

“I know I’m not totally complying with war tax (resistance) because… there are several ways the government pays for their bombing people and doing strange things in other lands.”
