Lincoln Rice, who leads the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee (NWTRCC), said in Donald Trump’s second term, more and more people are removing their money from the federal tax base. In January, NWTRCC – which has been around since the early 80s – held its largest-ever “War Tax Resistance 101” training. During Joe Biden’s presidency, a new group of Americans withheld federal tax dollars as the US subsidized Israel’s deadly attacks in Gaza. And interest in tax protest has only grown under Trump. However, one man who has been refusing to pay taxes since the 1980s did have his bank account levied, he added.
