You apparently have missed the point entirely. Most of us DON'T want to
evade taxes at all. I appreciate very much our many civil facilities and
services made possible by some of our tax dollars. The point of war tax
resistance is to argue for alternate destinations for the military portion
of our taxes.  I would gladly deposit double my wartax dollars into either a
special Peace Fund or a social services fund. I find this very much
analogous to the legal recognition of conscientious objection to military
service, where social or third world service is an accepted alternative.
