Also, people who "wish they had control" of their taxes but have accepted that there is nothing they can do would suddenly find themselves in a position where they can drastically reduce taxes by doing things like make their own meals at home, buy a more fuel efficient car, drive less, etc. It is a "control" thing.

In my case it would probably be the total opposite. With more "disposable" income available to us, I could stop cooking our meals at home 28 out of 30 days a month and be able to eat out a bit more. We already drive fuel efficient vehicles.

I much prefer having the control over my spending, and my taxes. Right now I must control spending because I have no control over the taxes.

Everybody does not have to do it, but for it to have a dramatic impact, only a small percentage of the population would need to act for it to have a dramatic effect on our overall economy.

And the opposite also works........a small percentage like my family that would increase spending would also have a dramatic effect in a positive manner, on the overall economy.
