i’m sure the irs will agree.

Ya know, I've often wondered, why, when we outnumber the IRS several thousand to one, we have to put up with the crap and abuse they often mete out.

because they have the local police, sheriff’s department, state police, FBI, US Marshals, IRS agents, and the courts to seize your property all while looking down the barrel of a gun.

true.

but, the vast majority of americans do not agree with you

or,

have families to support and are unwilling to take the risk.

when you convert the majority to your view and get them to take action, you will win.

[Old Sarge]

Because the IRS has the guns and the will to use them on their fellow citizens.

You, and all the other Internet Rambo’s, do not.

They have automatic weapons and tanks a phone call away.

Doesn’t mean crap if you’re in a bush 600m away though...

Well, leave out the folks that get the EITC. Most of the rest have the taxes automatically withheld (try to get your company to stop doing that!), and expect a "refund". In my case, and I had to write them a check on 4/15 - it was still <10% of my total burden.

From Bug's Life:

Hopper: You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life! It's not about food, it's about keeping those ants in line. That's why we're going back! Does anybody else wanna stay?
