As the drama continues to play out regarding the stolen election, there is frustration, a feeling of impotence and a burning anger within many across the country. But we are not nearly as impotent as we might believe. There are always ways of fighting back, but many seem not to realize this. And some quite substantial.
Before beginning, this article revolves around whether or not there was an election steal, a fraud. If you don't share this view then you are in the wrong place. However, if you do believe it, as 50 to 60 Pct. of the entire country now does, (and this is all people, across the board) let me broach a few ideas for ending this queasy feeling in the pit of your stomach.
If you believe there was a steal, as seems likely to me, the Biden admin. and his presidency on January 20th, is both illegitimate and criminal. Thus, we as Americans have no obligation to comply with this govt. In such a case, civil disobedience is not only permissible but some may say an obligation, a duty.
A simple example. Remember MASH? Hawkeye and Honeycutt never, committed treason or hung anybody by their thumbs, but they had their own ways of slowing, stalling, dragging their feet, losing orders, mis-addressing letters and generally just monkey wrenching a system they couldn't brook. And this was for a legal, credible system.
Biden will likely, through executive order, implement his inane money-wasting agenda of seeking la-la land.(And he's just the man for the job.) If you have a job you're supposed to do and you don't agree with, or in this case, you think the orders are illegal, you can easily drag your feet, make "honest" mistakes, push back and all the rest of it.
Where money is involved it's less clear. Most workers have their taxes withheld by their employers. Small business owners don't, nor do the ever-increasing number of independent contractors. There are millions today.
One million Realtors and I believe Uber, Lyft, Doordash and many others, are all independent contractors. As business owners and independent contractors you do your own taxes, so enough said there.
BTW, this is not written in the spirit of some playground revenge or a silly hissy fit. Not at all. The less money the govt. rakes in the fewer of these ridiculous, always doomed-to-failure schemes of theirs we will be water-boarded with.
Money for all of these social programs and engineering. When trapped in the belly of the beast, one way out is to starve him. And this behemoth can do with some starving.
And these things are actually already happening on some very large scales here in California. We have a very unfortunate creature known as a Gavin Newsom here. He is the governor of the state. Sadly, the poor little thing has developed a Napoleonic complex, illegally ordering people and businesses all throughout the state to comply with his bludgeoning lockdown rules and dictates which are not backed by science or even common sense. That's why he's governor!
However, thankfully, a number of small business owners are saying we're going to continue with our businesses, you go to hell. And I say good for them.
Another big example. The sheriff of Riverside County, which is very large area, and the sheriff of Orange County which again, is a very large area, both containing millions of people, both said they will not enforce these rules. These are the things I'm talking about as we go forward. Non-compliance, non-cooperation.
So citizens, there are many ways to be just as difficult and contrary as you want to be.
Morphing from deplorable to ungovernable could have a major and powerful blowback effect curtailing the plans these people plan to ram through.
I love the country and say we should fight for it, but not an illegitimate govt. built on fraud. For them I have no fidelity, no allegiance. The more they are foiled, the less crap they can do.
No. Bullsh*t. We have the power. No more typical republican sissy passive aggressive BS. Besides Mash was about as Un American as a show could get.
Still many people are not informed. They tune out, when it comes to politics.
Go into your employer and increase your deduction until there is zero withheld. (Set aside the amount you will owe at the end of the year plus penalty) you will starve the beast for 16 months. If every deplorable did that it would terrify them.
Why would it terrify? They’re fine with borrowing operating funds to the tune of $1T or $2T - and anything in-between, so what’s the ‘diff?
They’d just borrow $3T or $4T if nobody paid taxes at all.
But wait a minute - maybe that gravy train is over? Just who does Fedgov borrow from, to finance its free-spending ways? The Chinese, right? And who just took over the gubmint (assuming Biden wins)? Will Xi continue to subsidize (buy) what he already owns?

True. Then they’d ding you with a tax penalty for under-withholding for that tax year.
The fed used to issue bonds sold to other entities, now it just creates money with bonds it holds itself. It’s called Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). You can look it up on a search for detailed info.
Some of us would call it “run it ‘til it blows”
Taxation without representation is tyranny.
“Money for all of these social programs and engineering. When trapped in the belly of the beast, one way out is to starve him.”
Nice thought, but in the era of zero interest rates and deficit spending Biden’s puppet masters will merrily spend money we don’t have.
Oodles and oodles of it.
We need some stronger stuff than Hawkeye Pierce.
But what about this? What if everyone bought T-bills with their quarterly payments, then sold the lot of 'em in April to pay the final annual bill? Would that cause significant disruption in the market to mess with their heads each Spring?
Umm.. if the IRS thinks you are claiming too many exemptions they will send a letter to payroll and make them set it at zero. sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
you are pretty locked in on taxes but how about going after the media and their advertising revenue.
Cut the cable tv. The MARXIST media gets a substantial amount of revenue from the subscriber fees whether you watch or not.
Avoid national name brands. Go generic/local. Doesnt hurt the economy just the advertisers who fund the MARXIST media.
To disrupt the system we have to disrupt our lives
