Activist Cindy Sheehan Brags About Tax Evasion to Occupy Crowd [Video]

I agree she should be in jail, the idiot.

Bravo Cindy Bravo!

Good for her! She lost her son due to avarice and greed…she shouldn't have to give up anything else. Not one dimeto fund these wars and to bail out Wall Street! We can't keep rewarding failure and the banks failed! Capitalism doesn't work! Yay Cindy may we all follow your lead!

how dare you say she should be imprisoned,have you ever lost a child you dont know how she feels emotionally

Just because she lost a child doesn't mean she shouldn't pay her taxes… Wesley Snipes is in jail because he didn't pay and he lost his career which is a lot more devastating.

I think she is a very sad woman, and if she didn't have this fight against the u.s. government, she would probably whither away in some lonely home, a bitter old woman.

Steve Baum Losing a career is most devastating than losing a CHILD?? Moron

Robin Martin…. Really thats what you think? So she gets a free pass not to pay her taxes. So should we stop giving the elderly their social security and medicare, or perhaps all the people that work directly or indirectlyfor the government should get no paychecks, or people with disabilities no help, maybe closing the veterans hospitals?? If we as Americans all did what Cindy Sheehan is doing this is what would happen.

If you ask me she is using the death of her son as an excuse to break the law. Instead of honoring her son's memory, she is using it to further her political agenda. Which is disrespectful to me. Her son loved America to risk his life for it and she is tearing down what her son loved.

Only those who wish to destroy America celebrate people not paying their taxes. Georgio if you hate America that bad, none of us will stop you from leaving.

Melisa Lopez not paying taxes is a crime. Her son dying is not a pass.

Steve you ignorant slut!

How many people have lost their love ones throughout history due to war? Does that give everyone the right to stop paying their taxes? No, it doesn't. What makes her so special? Now that she has bragged about this, I'm sure the IRS will be knocking on her door!

unlike

Karen – your the idiot. They depend on people like you so they can swindle the rest of us.

Steve Baum u asshole how dare u compare a life with an acting career

Steve Baum – Are you off your trolley!

Melisa Lopez
I am sorry she lost her son and I wish all the sons and daughters would have come home but not all are coming home, some are still there and will be there for a long time. Sheehan has milked this stuff about as far as she can. She should pay her taxes just like have to pay mine. People have been imprisoned for not paying their taxes before and it is time she either pays up or goes to jail.

She is already a bitter woman.

I think she knows her son better than you. You ignorant dunce.

Now that she's bragged about it and it has been picked up by the news agencys the feds are sure to come after her. They don't like that.

Nonsense…free speech is what this country was founded on. The corporations and the banks OWN the government. It's time for change!! I don't wish to destroy America but I also don't wish to put my head in the sand and believe that the system that we currently have works. Our forefathers came over here breaking the laws of England…sometimes you have to break a few eggs…

She's got balls. She is fighting for what she believes in.

ditto

She did not give up her son to avarice and greed. He joined on his own and knew the price. It is extremely sad that he had to pay the ultimate price. For that I am sorry for her but not for not paying taxes. She is no different from anyone else and needs to pay up or go to jail.

Sarah Bennet I don' think she knew her son at all. She is so anti military and he enlisted so they probably weren't that close in the first place. And calling people names is a good way to get bitch slapped.

Rose Sweeney Flamuth
Then quit voting for the same old people that get voted in each time. Vote for no more incumbents. Free speech is fine but not paying taxes is not.

Chuck Smith she gave up her son to the interests of oil. Bush and Cheney made a fortune!! Young men lost their lives…that to me is avarice and greed. I do appreciate your point of view but I do believe you are misinformed.

Americans are the meanest stupidest people on this planet. I'm an ashamed American. Cindy Sheehan is a hero for refusing to pay taxes to kill people. Have any of you critics given your child to war? Do any of you have a brain big enough to see that we are killing our young people for nothing? This is why I hate reading posts. It's so discouraging. Bunch of meanspirited arrogant idiots!

The people who need to be in jail are the warmongers who put those boys in Iraq and Afghanistan. Let them go and join the front line – and their supporters first.

Rose Sweeney Flamuth
Well, I totally disagree. I do agree it was a war we should never have fought but no one made him go.

Chuck Smith No one has the right to break the law, and there should be consequences for it. However, implying that losing a career is more devastating than losing a child is despicable and disgusting.

Rose Sweeney Flamuth Can you prove in a court that the government is owned by corporations and banks? Or is that your opinion. In which you can believe whatever you want, but I'll have to pass.

Maybe if you knew the reality of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, maybe if you had lost a child through a needless war you may think differently. In the meantime keep ranting, Obama loves ya!

Michael Dugan "Only those who wish to destroy America celebrate people not paying their taxes." What about the fraudsters in power, the bankers, the politicians who start wars, I suppose they are angels and have had no negative impact then? What world do you live in Micheal Dugan. Bill Hicks could write some good material with your outlook.

That doesn't work…once they get a taste of power…they are all the same…bought and paid for.

you dummy her son died in a war that was waged because the president and his staff blatantly lied to the american people about wmd in iraq,if you were in her position tell how would you feel ,i think everyone should pay their fair share of taxes but how can you be so ignorant about someone who gave up the ultimate sacrifice for her country,we should be paying her

Chuck Smith I know you disagree but I appreciate the discussion. Thank you.

If you are so ashamed of America drag your butt over to Iran and see how much you like living there.

I agree. When she pretty much advertises the fact that she breaks the law deliberately, she should be arrested for it.

Dorian Atkins Is lying to the American Public and causing hundreds of thousands of deaths not against the law then?

Cindy Sheehan has pretty much lost it. She's thrown away her marriage, her career, her family, and any shred of self-respect that she once had in this insane one-woman crusade against the government.

she is probely on welfare.

Chuck Smith " I do agree it was a war we should never have fought but no one made him go." Maybe he believed the lies like thousands of others Chuck?

What if, because of her son's death she decided to break a different law besides not paying her taxes? At what point does her exemption end? The laws of the land are for all of us and we have systems in place called elections to change policies and laws. She is not above the law if she lost 12 kids in the war.

That makes her a Hero.

The Real Criminals are the one's that let her get in front of a camera.

He joined the armed forces willingly… prob to get away from his mother…

Laura Frederick What sort of an evil scum-bag are you? DO you research and you'll find out how much he respected his mother. One thing is for certain, I'm glad your not mine.

Chuck Smith The war was a lie, based on lies, and cost over a million lives.

How can you say he joined willingly when the "Commander in Chief" never told the truth?

That makes her a Hero.

I would join the armed forces to get away from her, she is a problem not George W. Bush! Pay your bills you nut! Sorry about your son, but dang grieve and remember him, don't act like an idiiot your a nut lady!

Hell yes I agree with her! Income tax is unconstitutional and wrongfully used. If you don't believe me, do your homework. Income tax doesn't pay for any of the necessary services so many think it does. there is an endless list of othe taxes for that. Income tax is used to elevate the 1%, allowing further oppression.

your a nut lol

Michael Dugan
Spoken like a true sheep. Just pay your taxes, and do everything your government tells you, don't rock the boat and everything will be okay. My heart aches thinking of all the patriots who gave thier lives for the spineless!

At least she has one that works.

You must be a sad and uninformed person for saying so.

Rob Poe
NO ONE made him go. NO ONE made him enlist. He could have stayed home but didn't.

Rose Sweeney Flamuth
Thank you. Have a great day.

You say your ashamed to be an American and yet you continue to live here and enjoy the freedom to write and say most anything you wish. Your a good benchwarmer that wishes to stay like you are and just cry about everything else. If you don't like reading the post, then come and don't write.

Sarah Bennet I am trying

You must be one of the 50 % who don't pay any taxes anyway. The only thing oppressing you is your brain!

Chuck Smith
You too!!! Happy New Year!!

Melisa Lopez Cindy Sheehan is a tool… if you can't take the sense of humor… She has made lots of money off of her dead son.

I expect the IRS will be visiting her very soon. What an idiot. And she does use her son's death for her own gain, she's disgusting! You don't see other military families doing such lunacy.

How much in taxes does your Baptist Church pay Dougy?

A grown man who believes in fairy-tales and he's talking about brains…

Laura Frederick you are fucked up

Douglas D'Arnall Another presumptive individual. Doug, you don't know me. Don't pretend like you do. Why do you have to be mean to me about this anyway? What have I ever done to you? Yes, I pay my taxes, yes I vote, yes I care. Does that mean that it is all just and fair? No. Our tax money is being used wrongly for murder and evil agendas. It is OK to love your country, even the ones fighting for it, and at the same not be supportive of its government. That is part of being American. It is our right to question the methods and actions of our government. It's part of being ruled by the people and for the people. Sheesh.

Sarah Bennet , 1st off…I am not an Obama lover and can't wait until he gets out of office. Second, how dare you accuse me of not knowing the reality of war in Iraq & Afghanistan? I have a nephew over there, neighbor's husband is there, friends are there, friends' spouses, child, brother, sister, cousin, aunt, uncle, ect are there! Don't you dare tell me that I would think differently when you don't know me or the facts. Just because a person dies in, what you call "needless", war doesn't give any survivor the right to not pay taxes. I'm not ranting, I'm stating fact….she is not the only person to lose a child/love one and that doesn't make her so special that she can get away with not paying her taxes….that is all I was saying. So you stop ranting.

At least Cindy Sheehan is allowed to practice freedom of speech, unlike some of us whose words are being deleted on this page. Really, had to delete my second comment too huh?

Chuck Smith – He enlisted because he thought he would be fighting for justice and freedom, not tyranny. There is a difference you know. …No, I'm pretty sure you do not.

Robin Martin Sorry you lost me at the personal insult. Too bad you can't call me names in person so I can teach you some manners,

What the f*** do you know about the relationship between this mother and son? You're making an assumption. You don't know a goddamn thing my friend, so stop acting like you do.

Sarah Bennet So you want to throw John Kerry and Hillary Clinton in jail? They voted for the war. Or President Obama since he kept it going for 3 plus years? Or do you just want to jail those who don't think like you do?

What a dopey woman. What about the medical research facilities studying remedies that need her tax dollar? Or the little old widow in tennis shoes down her block that needs her SSA check paid by her taxes? Or the clean water project that needs to be finished so rural folks can have a decent drinking supply funded by tax dollars? Selfish stupid woman!

Sarah Bennet The world I live in you spell Michael Michael not Micheal. If you can prove any of those assertions about the banks please do so…I want all law breakers to go to jail. If not then your just bleating to the flock.

Georgio Bones I don't believe you have either a heart or a spine.

Sarah Bennet .. you will never know how happy I am that we're not related!!!.. You sound like a child.. stay in school.. and learn something!!.. you're hilarious!!!!

Mr Dugan: You are absolutely right about this selfish woman who disdains paying taxes which help fund medical research to find cures for terrible diseases, who refuses to pay into a system that furnishes funds for clean water projects so rural folks can have a decent drink, who refuses to pay her share of taxes that enable the little old aged lady down her street to receive SSA checks for her living expenses. Sheehan is a stupid, selfish, embittered, and fundamentally unsound minded woman.

Linda If you don't like, support or respect America MOVE. No one wants you here anyway.

What makes her special is that she is speaking the truth. She is no longer afraid. Just because a person dies? you say? "Just because"? – She is paying taxes to the murderers who are responsible for her sons death – she has every right. If you really knew the reality of the war you would be congratulating a hero for exposing the liars and the murderers in power. All you can do is attack them – because you are a sheep, a defender sheep of the murdering shepherds that feed you fodder and laugh as you sup it up.

If anyone should be in jail it is George W. Bush. What he's done is far, far worse than simply paying taxes.

Sarah Bennet so breaking the law is perfectly fine with you? She is no hero for breaking the law. It's one thing to stand for your rights and get your voice heard but to brag that you are knowingly breaking the law is wrong. I work very hard and pay my taxes. Even when I can barely make ends meet, I still pay my taxes. Even when I disagree with my government (which I do), I still pay my taxes. You need to get a life and realize that even when something as tragic as losing a child happens, you still are obligated to the law! Oh and just so you know, I have lost a child….not by war but I have lost a child. So get a life!

Pete Ramirez – you also forgot the help in killing 162,000 people in Iraq – mainly civilians, including about 9000 Iraqi police officers and 4484 soldiers, of course we shall disregard the horrific injuries including children. Afghanistan? Pete Ramirez – your a brainwashed fool.

You forgot Dick Cheney.

I knew where you were before you had even posted that last reply. Obey the law. Dictators love you. There is a novel by George Orwell '1984'.

Sarah Bennet ….what the heck are you talking about??? You following me or something?

Sarah Bennet, actually, that makes her a criminal!

Please, you people that don't like it here in the United States, please leave!

Hey Robin Martin, I can't believe how STUPID you are!! You should be dating Sarah Bennet. You two left wing idiots are made for each other! Michael is right on target!

Georgio Bones Why bitch about stuff you can't control. Go to the root of the problem. History!!!! One must only look at what we've done to OURSELVES…. What we've ALLOWED the POTUS' to do to us. Just look up General Order 100 (Abe Lincoln) and then bitch about the small man. We've been under military law for over 150 yrs. Also…. Try to not sound like a well brainwashed baboon. Try and connect these dots, if you can wrap your 10 yr old brain around it. The IRS, isn't a domestic body (it can't be, under the original constitution) Their are at least a dozen supreme court cases where everyday sovereign citizens can sue, win, and get judgements against the IRS for stealing. 99% of the sheep (people) in this country don't have a fucking hair to sit on, legally. 1 in 10,000 may… and i really mean MAY have the ability to get real legal standing in this country. Ownership is actually bad (look it up, blacks law dictionary 4th edition) Marriage is a crime (also blacks law) because under the law. A marriage license requires one of the parties to be a decedent of a negro slave (look up Marriage law history). I am very very sick and tired of the bitching and complaining about taxes, laws, etc and no one is actually doing anything to change it. Look at the Declaration of Independence 1776, Constitution of 1783 and then compare the "known" meanings of the words used today. In law, they have a totally unique set of english definitions. Just look to good ol' billy for that one. " I don't know what your definition of "is" is" Its time to actually stand up and change stuff. But next to no one can.

Rose Sweeney Flamuth Then here's a simple way to fix that. Make it a jailable offense for ANY sitting elected official to talk to a private interest outside a committee thats open to the public. If they talk they loose their jobs. simple fix.

Sarah Bennet, Cindy is a moron and loser! She's needs to "occupy" her house and shut the f up!! I too served 9 years and did so willingly. Besides what unit did you serve in during the Iraq war?

You all sound like a bunch of 7th graders in a school yard.

Cindy Sheehan is a crime against humanity.

Jail the B—- or send her to GitMo. Not an American if you brag about avoiding your responsibility as a citizen

Sarah Bennet Her son was the one that joined the military it was his choice not hers or yours.he died so that you could call someone else Ignorant

given your childern to war??? WTF are you talking about. Nam took boys and chopped them up, but NO ONE made anyone join today's military. Her son made a choice like many other fine young people. Tradgically he died, but NO ONE forced him to volunteer. So please STFU, since you obviously know nothing about the military.

Robin Martin the UN told Bush and the DEMOCRATIC Senate there were WMD's in Saddams inventory. The Senate, including the liberal Hillary Clinton gave approval to Bush after seeing the same evidence the UN showed him. So please if you don't know what you are talking about don't be a troll and think you do.

Can someone tell me when they will arrest her for not paying her taxes look at what they did to Snipes explain what the difference is. There had better be a federal marshal dragging her out of her house tomorrow. She will have a captive audience in prison she can tell all her trash too.

Robin Martin really? Pay her for what? Her son made the bigger sacrifice and knew what he was in for when he enlisted. I got nothing but respect for those who have lost loved ones in a rich mans war. That is, until they decide to use it to political grand stand. I hope the irs takes everything. I hope they expose how much she has financially benefited from all her protesting. Its disgusting she feels good about using a credit card until she gets the bill and feels the need to use corporate greed as a excuse not to pay. I hope she gets all she deserves. She does not help the occupy movement one bit. She is only their to serve her own agenda and revive her 15 minutes of fame.

Sarah Bennet Go get a damn job you stupid bit ch

Robin Martin umm i know plenty of people who lost a child including my mom she and I were devistated however I never knew anyone that lost a child that acted as crazy as her, my mom acted with kindness and grace my brother was robbed and killed it was awful but we got through it your a moron…….

Sarah Bennet , she didn't know her son to good did she ,he went against her wishes and JOIN the military,he was a patriot and she is a freak ….

She's probably not paying her taxes to hide the millions she's made from speaking. In other words she is making money off the death of her son who is a national hero.

Robin Martin, like i said he JOINED ,and bush didn't lie,everybody had the same intell ,i'am glad sadamm is gone so wake up !!

Sarah Bennet Maybe if frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their butts when they hop. Maybe if you found other sources for information you might know more. MAYBE

Sarah Bennet ,that makes her a lier,i remember when all she said was bring our military home we love them ,so bring them back to america ! ''Well then how come her and her hard left anti military group were in washington a couple of years ago and spitting on our troops,calling them baby killers,ya that's why they are so for our troops ,bull it was a political statement….

Robin Martin ,it's ashame she had to use her sons death and bravery,to advance her political gain…

Sarah Bennet ,you keep on loving obama and maybe you will get a taste of that war when it comes to our shores,oh but then it will be to late,i would love for you to ask that to the love ones of the 911 victims families !!

Michael Dugan ,that's right Mike i will i also pitch in to buy her a one way ticket,to her favorite communist country !

Rose Sweeney Flamuth ,talk about your misinformed ,you guy's wrote the book !!

speak for your self miss mean !!

Chuck Smith ,right on Chuck i couldn't of said it any better,they just don't get it …

Michael Dugan … And you have no brain! Together were the wizard of OZ!

Rick Alberts, Sarah is from London and doesn't even have to deal with what we have had to deal with under Obama! I do wonder though….Sarah, did you follow your parent's rules/laws of the home? We follow rules & the law out of respect & to keep order and there is nothing wrong with that. It doesn't make us followers of dictator, it makes us law abiding citizens!

I got one of mine deleted too.

I'am so glad you said that jillian & melissa,that's right freedom of speach that is what makes are country the best,because you can have a voice and say what you feel ,but guess what you can't in those other countries ,you would be silenced like in jail or dead ,and our military made it possible for you to think that way ,i hope one day you will get wake up and realize that, but i doubt it ….

Everyone who thinks she is not paying her taxes because of her son needs to re-read the article a little closer. She is doing it to protest the bailout and it was brought on by the death of her son. READ! On the lighter side she will be audited by the IRS. If she doesn't have the $ to pay her back taxes she will go to jail. When they send the police to detain her and she decides to "protest" she can get a one way ticket to she her son if she is not careful. No Truth, No Justice, The American Way………………………………

Being a vietnam veteran all I can say is.. Linda if your ashamed to be an american DONT let the door hit you as you and Sarah dance all the way over to Afghainastan, where you can demand all the free rights they allow women. I lost friends and family in Nam but not once did I quit paying taxes. If Sheehan's son were alive he would disown her. Sure things are great in the service, now days men and women join because it is a job, sometimes things go wrong. Would she have the right not to pay taxes if her son died because of a drunk driver?

Rick Alberts – you need to wake up! THIS IS YOUR 'FREEDOM' http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Cg6ayc-w3bE

Adam Jennings it's pretty easy to insult people on the internet. Why not come to Flagstaff and try it in person. I don't think you will find so easy.

Sarah Read my response to Adam Jennings. Same thing to you. If you are calling people names and hiding behind your computer you are a coward. All of us have a right to our opinion about Anti America Sheehan so if you don't like it too damned bad.

You are just bloodthirsty lunatics. I'm ashamed of other americans that are so brainwashed that they can't see truth anymore. Go ahead sheeple. Give your children's lives to war. Applaud when they come home in a box and pay more money to kill everyone else's children. SIckening. Call me a nut and call me crazy. Fine, I'm the crazy one. I want peace. Yeah, I don't want to pay to kill people. Let's talk crazy. Oh and by the way, people call me Dr. I'm qualified to tell you guys that you are crazy. How qualified are you? I'm not ever coming back to this thread so throw all the stones you want. I hope you can be proud when your child is killed in a war. Good for you. Support it.

i agree completely.

ignorant discussions about an ignorant woman. Why do any of you people give a shit? Her grieving process is kind of obnoxious, yes, but seriously, it doesn't affect any of you in any way shape or form. She's going to get raped by the IRS now that she opened her mouth, so why is anyone even talking about it? Personally, I think she's one of those people that can't move on from the death of their child. The only people she should really hate is the Mujahadeen that killed her son.
