MG: Hart Should Follow Gandhi’s Example

MtnGardener: Why should anyone elect as a representative someone who owes the rest of us money. We can argue about whether taxes are too high or too low but you can't fund police, roads, schools etc. without taxes. If he's a tax protester he can do what Gandhi did and go to jail for his beliefs. It ain't legal to dodge taxes. Nor is it moral.

Question: Should a person who involves himself in civil disobedience be willing to go to jail for his/her beliefs?
