Your neighbor thought the tax system was corrupt. He thought it was far too complicated to be fair in the treatment of most people. So he refused to pay his taxes. He wrote the IRS expressing his views. When tax liens were filed against his property he used the occasion to publicize the unfairness in the tax system.
Is this civil disobedience? Why or why not?
