What our $300 billion taxpayer dollars in Iraq are paying for

[Muddy Waters Guitar]

A return to Saddam-style justice in the prisons, with innocent people rounded up, tortured, even killed in both US (Abu Ghraib) and US-supported Iraqi prisons:

(NB: Bushite officials have no hesitation to interfere with the Iraqi government on issues of oil and US bases, but when it comes to torturing Iraqi people, then suddenly it's a matter of "Iraqi sovereignty." Again, funny how that works.)

For what is it, exactly, that were getting our troops killed and grievously wounded, killing and maiming Iraqis, and spending hundreds of billions of dollars in Iraq? I guess I missed that discovery of WMD's that some 70% of Rethug sheep think have been found in Iraq.

1. Why is so much of Iraq without Food, Water, and Electricity?

What IS our money paying for?

2. Is there a legal way

to not pay federal taxes? I owe a ton of money to the feds and although the forms are filled out and signed and the check is written I'm not sending it in 'til the last minute. I wrote a letter that I was paying in protest, but I'm wondering if there's any legal way to not pay? Anyone know?

Also, what would happen if say a million people didn't pay in protest?
