Complicity And Collection: Religious Freedom And Tax, Jennifer Carr
Complicity And Collection: Religious Freedom And Tax, Jennifer Carr

This Article focuses on how the Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund Bill might be improved so that members of Congress enact it. The bill would allow war tax resisters who qualify as pacifists to direct their tax money to a separate fund not to be used for military spending. At present, the IRS is expending time and resources trying to track down tax resisters, which results in loss of revenue for the government. This Article argues that passage of an amended version of the Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund Bill would eliminate the tension between the IRS and war tax …

Abbott Laboratories, as well as recent District Court decisions, opponents of federal constitutional protection for gay people …
