"My son was killed in 2004. I am not paying my taxes for 2004. You killed my son, George Bush, and I don't owe you a penny"

This quote by Cindy Sheehan is a powerful declaration of her grief and anger over the death of her boy in 2004. She is refusing to pay her taxes for that year as a type of demonstration against the war in Iraq and the actions of President George Bush. She is making a declaration that she does not owe the federal government anything for the death of her child, and that the government is responsible for his death. She is revealing her deep grief and anger at the loss of her kid, and her rejection to pay taxes is a way of expressing her dissatisfaction with the government and its policies. Her words are a powerful pointer of the human cost of war and the destructive effect it can have on households.
