Man this is such a tough one for me. While I definitely agree with the perspective that as citizens our tax dollars are stolen without our consent, and the atrocities carried out by our military and other government agencies are also done without our consent. I also can't help but feel at least partially responsible for the crimes of the US government because of my tax contribution. To some extent I think we are all passively consenting to our government's actions every day that we go in to work, knowing that the income is taxed and that those tax dollars are used for imperialistic warfare.

I actually think making people more aware of their culpability in the US's war crimes, would do a lot to break down statism. If people could understand that the government is forcing us to commit atrocities with our tax dollars, they might start to see government for the horrific uncontrollable beast that it really is.
