That'll piss off the auditors. Turn those folks into border patrol officers...
Interesting idea. They can't throw the taxpayers in jail because there would be no one to pay the prison guards.
Listen we are the criminals according to Specter, kennedy, Graham and the senators who are even now voting in amnesty.
Perhaps Rush would volunteer to show us the way.
My cousin works at the IRS. Just recently, she laughingly recounted the story of some poor slob who called her distraught because the tax preparer made some mistakes and now there were penalites and interest that needed to be paid. My cousin told the guy he should have made sure the tax return was accurate, after all he had signed it.
Rush is brave. The IRS has more power than any other government agency. Ask Al Capone.
Isn't Irwin Schiff in jail for expressing nearly the same thing?
This is an interesting thought. In Atlas Shrugged the productive people refused to particpate.
And the world upended/
That's completely different. In Atlas Shrugged, you had a Europe that was slipping into some strange mix of socialism and religious fanaticism, a large part of the world that hated the U.S. for the very virtues that it embodied, oil supplies in the hands of lunatics, and...
Oh, never mind.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... The tough get going! Who's with me? Let's go! (run's from room screaming).
Have you ever felt as if you were living in Atlas Shrugged? I have - for years now.
I remember when I was living in Central Connecticut, I was walking along an abandoned railroad track when I came upon a fallen, rusted out coal tower. Someone had scratched "Who is John Galt?" in coal on the tower side. Gave me a chill.

Dumbing down the Ed. system may pay off yet. The Fed/Guv can't get enough help that can handle the job, and besides that they HAVE to hire the correct numbers of various mainorities, just to be fair.
Oh yeah, that will work... suddenly the Bush administration would discover laws that it could enforce against millions of people, unlike those evil immigration laws.
Not much they could do if people just wind down their revenue-generating activities and just "drop out". It would be like a slow-motion general strike.
Rush (and Jim), the government prints its own money. You cannot fight a government that can pay jackbooted thugs with fiat money that the average American will accept as legal tender. So don't pay your taxes. The good news is that your income taxes will drop to nothing. The bad news is, so will your income, 'cause you'll be in jail.
Civil disobedience only works if you cost the government WORKER something. Personal time is the only thing a government worker cares about.
To make the government care about illegals you have to make NOT picking up illegals more work than picking them up. And that demands real civil obedience. For instance, you might utilize illegals' services to knock on doors and hand out pamphlets in wealthy neighborhoods, pamphlets with the phone numbers for the Homeland Security Border Enforcement office.
That's true. A technique I've employed myself at times. Which doesn't mean you need to do without, you just stay out of the visible economy when possible. Our reconquista amigos are very accomplished at this, BTW.
Now THAT would work, if everyone productive could stand to take a sabbatical.
