RE: Youth Domestic Violence

One big factor in domestic violence is our culture of militarism. The US military devotes huge sums marketing militarism to youth. Their root assumption is that violence is the ultimate problem solver. Once recruited, youth are taught specific violent techniques. Statistics show that domestic violence is worse in areas that have military bases.

One solution to this violence is tax resistance. Refuse to pay federal taxes until military spending is dramatically cut.
