What if 40 or 50 million of us just refused to pay taxes. What are they going to do?

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.

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.

Nothing other than offering to lower our taxes if we'd start paying again.

No, but they can seize your assets, sell them off to illegal aliens, garnish your wages above $5.15 an hour, and trash your credit report.

Try holding a good job with a lousy FICO score. Try keeping any job with no transportation, housing, or hope of procuring any.

At that point, what need has the government of imprisoning you?

God, I really love this idea. unfortunately I already figured out how to beat both Fed and State tax. I have arranged for more than half of my income to be tax exempt. I have also enough dependents to warrant tax credits and 15% dividends. I will pay the state this year for the second year in a row $0. The US govt gets $47. I get back over $5K. Amen.
