This could all be avoided so easily. So fast could things go right, if only the productive class quit paying taxes. They hold the purse strings. No government operates without steady revenue; that is the “consent” of the governed.
Quit enabling. If you really think disaster is on the way, war and famine and the rest — surely you can choose the relatively minor risk and inconvenience of ceasing to pay taxes. Legally if you wish, illegally if you dare.
Maybe then you won’t have to stockpile chow and guns — although it sure is exciting, isn’t it?
Have you quit paying? My taxes are deducted from my check. I have no say in the matter. The federal monster has the power and guns to remove any amount of money from any securities or cash accounts using a few keystrokes.
