I totally agree with previous comments; Civil war is a possibility.
Well, I can see something a whole lot less dangerous than Civil War, and a whole lot more effective than Civil War -- if (and only if) -- everyone who is opposed to this would do it.
That would be for all who are opposed to immediately stop paying all taxes of all kinds. No taxes of any kind anywhere and have tax moratorium for several years -- just a simple refusal to do so.
That wouldn't get people shot or killed. BUT, it would have an immediate effect on the operation of all levels of government.
HOWEVER, I think (just my opinion, mind you), that the less dangerous thing, which would be a whole lot more effective -- won't be done by people opposed to this.
And if the less dangerous thing can't be done, I don't quite see how on earth people are going to go for getting shot up and going on raids and bombing places and blowing up buildings and killing officials (that's a Civil War, doncha know...).
So, I doubt that you're going to get a mass of people protesting by not paying their taxes -- or -- even get anywhere near a significant number of people who will go into "Civil War" mode and start shooting people, blowing up facilities (of the "enemy" doncha know...) -- and so on.
I think all that will happen is a whole bunch of mad people and maybe some more Tea Party marches and perhaps some organizing for political events and then a big push to get some Representatives out of office.
Or you can work together with those people who are pissed off and do something else: nullification.
Nullification has a long history in this country. Get into your state’s GOP and legislature and nullify the federal laws.
Already, some states are working in that direction with the firearms legislation that challenges the federal government’s regulatory power. Wyoming has fines and imprisonment as punishment for BATFE agents attempting to enforce federal gun laws on guns made and sold in-state.
That is the solution. If it splits this country, so what?
A communist corpse of the old republic is nothing to revere.
When the bill kicks in or the cost kicks in and everyone is upset, anything is possible. You shall see it. This bill is bad and everyone will be hating it.
You realize you just committed a felony don’t you?
