Some people will fight to their last breath. Others will get down on their knees to welcome their oppressors.

Time to decide what kind of person you are.

Although there is always the tactic of the producers going on strike. Only when the takers have nothing left to take form the producers will things change.

When cities, states and now even countries need more tax revenue, they simply raise taxes thinking if I my X revenue and I raise taxes by Y, they should get a linear increase. In reality the revenues decrease because wealth has mobility. Look at Briton, France, NY, California, Baltimore, etc. Oppressively tax the rich, the rich relocate.

I always thought Big tobacco should have done that in the 90’s. When they where being extorted for large sums of cash they should have just said, “You are right. Our products are bad. Tomorrow we discontinue all production of tobacco products.” Imagine what would have happened if tens of billions of tax revenue disappeared over night with no warning. That is the kind of shakeup that is needed.
