taxKilla
taxKilla was a free protest tool designed to help taxpayers reduce their tax liability, but no longer exists. taxKilla's conception was inspired by the Occupy movement. Based on the notion that the empowered rich (the 1%) use the tax system to their benefit, taxKilla was created as a vehicle for the 99% to do the same.
Manifesto
"our modern form of revolution - protest - raises awareness but does not change the system. this is because tyranny does not rely on your opinion to continue - it only requires your money. though tax systems are designed to extract money from the apathetic they can be reconstructed into an instrument of liberation for all of us." [1]
taxKilla offered a step by step guide to creating a simple business entity, enabling users to take advantage of the deductions available through the use of Schedule C[2] and Form 4562.[3] Once a business entity was created, taxKilla encouraged filing deductions on everything from home office expenses to the gas used for business travel. taxKilla also educated users regarding the risks involved in lowering one's taxes, as well as audit red flags, and strategies for dealing with the IRS in an audit situation.
