[edit]Does RFPTFA need its own page, or should discussion of it be included in this one? -Moorlock 00:41, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
POV - "bloated military spending"? Bias creeping in there. Perhaps "bloated" in the US - I don't know - but here in the UK it's quite the opposite: funding is very low and resources are overstretched. Panlane 08:24, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Requested move
[edit]Conscientious objection to military taxation → Conscientious objection to military taxation in the United States This article deals almost exclusively about this phenomenon in the United States. Please discuss at Talk:Tax protester#Requested move. — AjaxSmack 06:32, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
This article is almost exclusively US - although the references are wider - and does not deal with war tax resistance, that is a form of resistance as civil disobedience rather than seeking legal provision for conscientious objection. The point about "bloated military spending" is that those who conscientiously object do regard military spending as "bloated" - in Britain where it absorbs resources that could be used for social ends as well as in the USA.

Neutral tone and dubious analogy
[edit]> A “peace tax fund” payer, on the other hand, pays just as much money as the ordinary taxpayer, but just cherishes the illusion that her dollars were peaceful ones. It would be as if the government told conscientious objectors that they had to take up arms and shoot at the enemy just like everybody else, but that they didn’t have to take credit for their kills if they didn’t want to.
The use of the word cherish is odd, and the assumption that the author knows the illusions of a "peace tax fund" payer. The analogy is strange and undeveloped. quorn3000 (talk) 11:56, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
