I have NEVER been able to figure out why there has not been a tax revolt since way back when. When you don’t agree with how the government is spending your money, just stop giving them you money!!

The only reason the whiskey rebellion was put down, was the rebellers were drunk.

IMHO no tax revolt because 50% of the people pax little to no taxes. The high earners who pay the most taxes are often progs. There’s no skin in the game for many citizens (or non-citizens). And even those that pay little to no taxes often are participating in an underground cash or barter economy where income is not reported. The system is, shall we say, imperfect.

Withholding.

There certainly would be a tax revolt if everyone had to write a check on April 15th. Instead, most look forward to their refund as if it's a gift from the government.

The interviews with Field McConnell that I have listened to today, he says several times that he does not pay taxes.

He said that his sister, Kristine Marcy, sent him a letter that mentioned taxes, even though she knows that he does not pay taxes.
