Tax Resisters to Hold Day of Protest
------------------------------------



And today is tax day. As millions scramble to mail in their last-minute
returns, the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee says tax
resisters will hold protests around the country to show their opposition
to funding war. The day of protest is being called “The War Is Not
Over.” A new study, meanwhile, from the National Priorities Project says
that more than thirty-seven cents of every income tax dollar goes to
military spending. By contrast, environment, energy and science spending
projects split 2.8 cents of every tax dollar, while housing, community
and food programs split 3.8 cents.
