CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY I SHOULDN’T?!

Would be a poor decision, and doubly so for talking about such a poor decision. The guy up the street reasoned thus and he didn't enjoy his three years in Leavenworth.

If 12 million people refused to pay their taxes, the IRS couldn't possibly do anything about it, could it? After all, how could the IRS possibly round up 12 million people who only broke one single law, for the innocent purpose of providing a better future for their children? Wouldn't it be cruel to break up families and take children's college money away, only because their parents in desperation broke one little law, by not paying any taxes?

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY I SHOULDN’T?!

I really meant that from the standpoint of ethics and morality, i.e. why should I obey the law when literally tens of millions will get a largely free ride for not having done so. I agree that spending time in prison is a good reason not to do certain things, and I'm not serious about breaking the laws in question.

But I'd love to see one of the pro-amnesty pols answer that or a similar question.

Oh, and IF I was REALLY going to break the law, I wouldn't be stupid enough to simultaneously announce it and leave behind evidence of premeditation.
