Title
Boston Globe, Joan Baez
Description
“Q - Did Joan Baez, the folk singer, ever pay the income tax which she had refused to pay the government?- J.C., Melrose.
A- The IRS came and took it, says Miss Baez, who, for the past three years has refused to pay an estimated 60 percent of her income tax which she claims supports the war in Vietnam. Every year, a couple of months after the Apr. 15 deadline, a revenue agent visits her bank, shows a tax lien and quietly withdraws the unpaid balance, plus six percent interest for late payment.
