Dear IRS,

I agree 100% with our President Select, George W. Bush, that anyone who
finances terrorist acts is just as guilty as the perpetrators. With this
in mind, I conscientiously object to paying 50% of the income tax that
reliable sources estimate is the amount the current regime in Washington
is using to carry out its illegal, unconstitutional, immoral acts of
premeditated murder of innocent people in Iraq and elsewhere.

In the past I helped to finance such terrorist acts as the overthrow and
murder of Salvador Allende, the democratically elected president of
Chile, the training of terrorists on US soil who then returned to
countries in Central and South America to torture and kill the innocent,
to subvert the spread of true democracy, etc., etc. I could go on for
pages listing specific US government crimes which I am guilty of helping
to finance, but it is just too painful. Enough is enough! As some wise
person once said, if you are not part of the solution, you are part of
the problem. Also, all it takes for evil to succeed is for enough good
men - and women -to do nothing. We have plenty of those in the US
Congress, as well as the population at large.

Hopefully, there will be a regime change in Washington come 2004 and we
will be done with the military/industrial/fundamentalist religious
fanatic coup that now controls - - -the world! I look forward to once
again having our tax contributions used for good rather than - I hate to
use the term - evil.

Sincerely,

Richard Loerky
