What could they do if half to three quarters of the people in this country decided not to pay taxes? No jails big enough, police forces are not going to persecute that many people. national guard?
I’ve suggested it before. We would need a massive number of people to go along with it all at the same time.
We already have our taxes taken out of our paycheck but one could raise the number of deductions so you would be bringing home more cash and end up owing.
Since the employer takes out social security there would be little you could do about that. But I have long believed that a massive tax revolt by the middle class would make a very effective version of the Boston Tea Party.
