Subject: RE: BS: Utah Phillips is going to vote!
Ammon Hennacy, Utah's mentor in many ways, didn't believe in taxes because he didn't believe in governments. He also believed in taking the consequences of his actions - that's part of being an anarchist - and he didn't want to go to jail because it would interfere with his work.

Now, you can only stay out of jail and pay no taxes if you don't own anything so Ammon faced up to it and quit owning things. He gave all he had away, including any income he got, and lived and ate in the mission he ran. and he never owned anything the rest of his life.

He wouldn't ever call the police because they're an arm of the government. And so on.

That's integrity; putting your money where your mouth is. Go and do thou likewise, smiler.
