&lt;p&gt;This is a brilliant idea!!  People should change their exemptions from 0 or 1 to 8 or 9, which I believe is the point at which the Fed would start being concerned, and poss. launch investigations…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over 50% of people’s Federal Income Tax goes to pay for war, and there is no reason that people shouldn’t be able to be conscientious objectors to war by not paying for it…right?!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let’s do it, because the Feds can’t fight back against millions saying, “Fuck you…no taxation without representation!”&quot;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;We should stop paying the Fed Tax on our phone bills, utility bills and anything that we pay monthly for that has a Fed Tax.  Attach a note with your payment each month stating that you are withhold the Fed Tax because you object to the federal government not doing proper oversight in implementing the bail out of the financial institutions. Insist that they follow the guide lines as outlined in Obama’s statement about proper oversight and something for home owners. Be sure to put the taxes in a bank account that you can keep separate, and note in your correspondence that you will pay the back taxes once the federal government agrees to the peoples demands.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t think they can turn off your service with this kind of protest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Spread it around, spread it far. Let’s do this.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;McCain: “When I met campaign INTERN Cindy Lou Hensley and started the affair that led to my divorce…but successful political career&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;…wait, I mean the Keating 5 Scandal when I learned that the best strategy to save ones a** is to become a “Maverick”…leak as much dirt about the others involved, and then plead ignorance about my wife’s financial involvement with rich bankers (I learned how important it is to keep ones wealthy benefactors investments well out of the public eye). Sarah Palin learned to climb the political ladder just the same way!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;…No! Wait! I mean the time in the Hanoi Hilton when I gave up thinking about “John Sidney McCain” and started thinking about America and what a great country it is. AMERICA, the land where a corrupt hack of a politician can continue to deceive the public year after year. Where one can remake oneself from a wife-cheating schnook and corporate crook to become the Republican nominee of the United States&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am reminded of the priceless line from Fawltey Towers, ‘Don’t mention the war.’&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yeah, THAT trillion dollars that we didn’t actually have in the Treasury is sure looking like it could be useful just about now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then again, the Palin-McCain ticket to Armageddon is talkin’ about two more wars…with Iran and Russia…not to mention North Korea, Venezuela, Syria…but those will likely pay off themselves with oil revenues by the willing folks who are liberated, righhhhhhhhT?????&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I want so much for Obama to be a transformative President.  We need that so much.  McCain could look right at Scott and right at the camera and say Sarah is really ready to be President.  I am so sick of lies and nonsense.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
