I’m the guy in the film!
I’m the guy in the film! So you can probably reject this interview as by someone who is not impartial. I never had being in a documentary film on my bucket list but then again I never expected to inherit $1 million of federally taxable money when my father died in 2016. I ended up giving away most of the money and I know how old the federal government $300,000 they tell me. They have 10 years to collect and I come to this point hoping they will do something because I really want the publicity. There is nothing they can do about the vast amount I have donated already. And they always look pretty sad when they start trying to pound on conscientious objectors who are acting openly and risking civil disobedience in front of everybody and anybody who will pay attention! The film closes with the observation that the IRS knows where to find me. Bring it on military industrial complex!
Inspiration
They probably won’t persecute him in any way to avoid attention to what is probably the only way to force any government to stop funding war. If a thousand people do it it’s not a problem but what if all people that are against war stop paying taxes? Then what? They don’t want this idea reaching people.
