Dicey stuff for a Reagan Conservative.
Best regards to all,
“And yes, such an act is considered unlawful and some could be jailed.”
unless you are a democrap appointee, that is.
This is my plan.
My wife and I are buying a house. Between the mortgage and property tax deductions, and every legal deduction we can cram in there, we will end up paying almost nothing.
If the Dear and Beloved Leader was to usher in our glorious Socialist future, he ain’t gonna have my money to do it with.
E-mails, letters and even calling do not seem to matter anymore to the people we elected to represent us in Congress.
Here’s a thought: when Congress was busy huffing and puffing about those evil AIG bonuses, no one gave it a second thought when the thuggish ACORN rent-a-mob went on a bus tour of AIG employees’ homes.
So, what if someone were to create a database containing all the HOME addresses of these professional thieves in Congress (both their D.C. and state home addresses) and distribute it widely across the internet?
A few peaceful public gatherings at their ritzy D.C. townhomes and gated estates might make them think twice as they continue to tax us and our children into a banana republic-style poverty.
“Imagine a one day national strike coinciding with the largest March on Washington in the history of the Republic. This would surely change the dialogue in the country. The lightweight politicians in Washington DC would cave immediately.”
There are many state and local Tea Parties - Taxpayer Rallies
set for April 15th, 2009. I think if we all attended one of these for sure, it would sent a powerful message to state and national politicians. If the Tea Party movement isn’t enough, a national strike may have to be the next step.
bttt
That isn't civil disobedience. That is UNPATRIOTIC according to Uncle Joe Biden.
Unless you are a member of the Obama administration, then "taxes are voluntary" (and YES they have advanced this argument).
What a stupid place to start “civil disobedience”. Not paying taxes due? yer screwed from the start. No such act, short of massively coordinated, would come anywhere near sufficient effect to matter.
Knowing what exactly the law requires, however, may lead to enlightening above-board options. The best alternative to the above-proposed idiocy is self-sufficiency: reduce your costs & taxable income such that there is nothing to object to - and little for the greedy to confiscate and abuse to their own ends.
Most are unaware that the way our society works, ways that are loudly debated & derided, are merely a matter of choice of cooperation. Outside that mainstream are many who function unnoticed and freer.
While this bit of modern-retro soul-funk (What If We All Stopped Paying Taxes) from Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings was recorded during the Bush Administration, it seems more appropriate than ever.
Bet it's been dropped from their set lists.
And gotta dig "Vote Early - Vote Often" on the record label.
And imagine if everyone exercised their 2nd Amendment Right at this march...
What a brilliant plan, spend billions to build concentration camps to intern non tax payers and then whoever is left must support the cost of housing and feeding and guarding these millions of dissenters.
Most of America will become prison camps, and all these prisoners are also unable to buy anything, unable to work jobs, unable to have businesses.
What then Barry? do you then move them underground and call them Eloi?
Lets toss the bum out of office, or just change the locks while they are out of town.
America can eventually heal itself without having someone around constantly hitting us in the shins.
Obama will hire ACORN-ites for the IRS. He will squeeze every penny owed to his government and then some, and publicly destroy and jail those who dissent to dissuade others.
‘Civil disobedience’ is nothing more than threatening to beat someone on the fist with your face, until their conscience makes them do what you want.
The flaw in this logic when dealing with thugs and looters is obvious.
Bank locally at a credit union.
Will not buy, lease, or even rent another GM, Ford, or Chrylser vehicle until after Obama's reign-of-economically-stupid-terror is over.
We will not do business with any business entity that received bailout funds from the Obama regime
Will not donate to political campaigns other than actual candidates (gave up on NRSC type committees because of their refusal to stop funding RINO's)
Spend ONLY on needs...no wants hardly at all (except for tax refund money...went to a few wants, rest to savings)
Cancelled every credit card we have. Debit cards work just as well.
self-employed status for wife (working from home means no more daycare expenses, which took up 85% of income at one point), and nice, legal tax write-offs
However...DO NOT DO THE W-4 strategy of 20 exemptions, unless you can PROVE them at the time you claim them.
More than 9, and a certain alphabet agency's attention is automatically gotten (read: HIGH probability of audits).
Finally, next election, we will again be Broken Glass Republicans and encourage everyone else the same.
Here’s a thought, perhaps a stupid one - we could redeem our Treasury bonds, and dump our money market mutual funds. It could be done in a coordinated way via the internet through social networking sites. On a particular day or days X many Billions would be dumped as a civil “No Confidence” vote. The only way to stop the spending madness is to dry up the bank. I’m sure this would get their attention.
The downside would be possibly accelerating the bankruptcy of the U.S. by to much selling. We’d all wind up eating tree bark and grass this year rather than the next.
It will destroy your life and the lives of your kids. You'll never be able to pull yourselves out the hole this will bury you in.
I know lots of people who tried this when those tax frauds went around holding seminars teaching people "to go exempt". People who did were devastated financially.
Don't do it.
