Christian family fined after arguing taxes 'against God's will'

JFC, buddy, didn't you ever hear that you're supposed to "render unto Caesar"? Of course, if you're so opposed to paying taxes you can always give all your wealth and income to the poor rather than gathering up riches here on earth, that'll lower your tax burden a darn lot AND make you better Christians.

That was not their argument.

Right, I just meant, I don't know whether it's something to abandon as a tactic just bc these idiots tried it and also am kind of interested in what other people think of it as a strategy in other instances (I think the big difference is that people who refuse to pay 'war tax' are expecting to be arrested). IDK, the peace movement's slide into cultural irrelevance is really interesting to me.
