CINDY SHEEHAN refuses to file tax returns

[Pete in Wisconsin]

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan has refuse to file tax returns due to her moral objection to the Iraq war. There are lots of articles online about this, but this Chicago Tribune one is great because of the interesting quotes from IRS representatives:

Here's a good one:

U.S. Attorney Adair Boroughs, from the U.S. Justice Department's tax division, said regardless of any sympathy one might feel for her political views as a conscientious objector, Sheehan does not have the right to violate U.S. laws "with impunity." Boroughs added that invoking Fifth Amendment protections against self-incrimination cannot be used to "evade tax payment."

This ALMOST sounds like a legal opinion enforced at the barrel of a gun!

She will learn a good lesson about the "fairness " of the judicial system

She's a terrorist and she gets whatever she deserves! God bless our brave, fair, and benevolent leaders.
