I don’t understand folks (and there are a bunch on FR) who advocate not paying taxes to “starve the beast”.

The fedgov is already spending $1.40 for every $1 of revenue.
Tax shortfalls won’t change that.
They will just create more Baraqqi/Bernanke/Geithner minibucks.

Paying taxes is a tax on you. Printing money is a tax on everyone.

Care to re-post some of those posts where you've seen this...

Many have "gone Galt", but this in no why implies the individual advocates NOT paying taxes due. The term "going Galt" is used by those who've reduced their taxes owed by reducing the amount of income earned, the number of purchases and their consumption of utilities, entertainment and etc.

You are basically slandering quite a number law abiding Freepers who have no intentions of trying to evade paying taxes due. They are simply living a frugal lifestyle which in turn reduces the amount of taxes owed. Seems you're intent on casting aspersions; something a troll would do, not a true conservative. Or perhaps you simply have no idea what the term "going Galt" implies?

That might explain your irrelavance to half of your daily labor going to the state.
