Fellow Patriots,
Obama and his Socialist Democrats have truly thrown down the gauntlet with their Trillion Dollar "Stimulus" bill. The Democrats are going for broke to move America into a condition of permanent Socialism. Next stop: full blown Marxism / Communism.
I've become convinced that we citizens no longer have true representation in our government, and our votes aren't making much of a difference, either.
No one in Washington is listening to what We The People need and want any longer.
The Socialist Democrats and RINOs now in power are only interested in solidifying their power base and their complete control over our existence. They will ignore or destroy the US Constitution to achieve their aims, if necessary.
We The People must do something now to effectively stop, or to at least slow the ongoing process unfolding before our eyes. To say that we will lose our country if we do nothing, is no longer frightened rhetoric in my opinion.
Short of armed insurrection, there's only one other effective way that I can think of to put the brakes on this madness, and that is a widespread tax revolt.
Why should the hard working, tax paying, law abiding members of this country pay the lawless usurpers in our government to enslave them, and their children? Answer: they shouldn't.
Our country's first form of protest against the suppression of Great Britain was a tax revolt. The Boston Tea Party was the ignition point that got the American people on their feet, and galvanized them to fight back against the real tyranny of the time.
It's my opinion that we need to repeat that very effective protest now. Here is my concept for striking an effective blow against the encroaching and real tyranny we face...
We need at least Ten Million Americans to commit to simultaneously stop paying all federal taxes. It has to be a number that large to ensure the safety of all who join the effort. The government is large, but they don't have the power or the resources to prosecute ten million tax resisters.
I would like to get a website up where people can read about the tax revolt and the reasoning behind it.
The site should have a place where each person who agrees to join the revolt can anonymously sign a pledge to stop paying federal taxes, once we reach the ten million mark.
A person would simply check a box (similar to an online poll), indicating their agreement to join the tax revolt.
The site should have a counter prominently displayed, keeping track of how many people have joined the tax revolt.
The site should have a forum to stimulate discussion about the tax revolt and the myriad reasons for it. This will also encourage a great many people to join the revolt, when they can read the thoughts of other patriots.
The site should also link to other like-minded patriotic websites and forums.
When the ten million mark is reached, the announcement to begin the tax revolt will be posted large on the front page of the site. On that day, ten million (or more) Americans will cease submitting to the extortion of their hard earned money by the Socialist usurpers in Washington.
There is strength in numbers. People will find the bravery to do this, if they see that millions of their fellow Americans are ready, willing, and committed to fight back.
I've been floating this idea on conservative discussion forums for many months now, and have gotten nothing but positive feedback about the idea.
Apparently, there are millions of Americans who want to do something effective to fight back, but don't have a ready answer as to what they can personally do. Many also have the spirit to fight, but don't see any organized resistance that they can join.
Someone's got to start the ball rolling. I think that this is an idea that will work. It could snowball into a full-scale tax revolt on the part of the American people, if it's simply launched.
As I said, short of armed insurrection, I can't think of anything more effective that the American people can do to get the government's attention, and which can put The People back in the driver's seat where they belong.
Naturally, there are a lot of things to think through before putting up such a website. I don't want to try to cover them all here, but I'm sure you've already thought of a few. They do need to be discussed and resolved.
Please let me know what you think of the basic concept, and what your thoughts are regarding the construction and maintenance of the website.
Your fellow patriot, Windflier
Good idea. Do what they do to us, flood them with paperwork!
I looked into this. It seems my info is about 4 years out of date. Effective April 14, 2005, IRS passed a new reg that relieved employers of the responsibility of submitting W-4s to IRS, except when specifically requested. In the announcement, IRS claimed they had enough info elsewhere to detect abuses, without having copies of the W-4s. So, presently, employers should not automatically be sending any W-4s to IRS. Rest easy.
It is a great idea-—the Feds depend on the landslide of money they get on April 15. Now you have about 65 days to get this organized.
A little more than that LOL! 2008 taxes were Bush Admin. I’m thinking April 15, 2010 for all the Zer0’s tax increases in 2009.
Now, that is an excellent idea! Clog the system, if nothing else, and make a very public point at the same time.
That could actually be done! LOL! The forms are free at the post office...
Or, we could all pick up some extra tax forms, scrawl nasty notes across them, then mail them to the IRS.
The thought coming into my mind, is that Americans hate our tax system, but few ever take the time to honestly communicate their disagreements to their government.
It would be perfectly legitimate to write letters to the head of the IRS, telling them that the progressive income tax, and our complicated tax code is punitive, and just plain wrong. There's nothing immoral or illegal with that at all, but how many of us have ever done such a thing?
I don't know what sort of activism is going to produce the effect we all want. I just know that some form of protest on a massive scale is needed to change things.
Haven’t you heard? There is no legal authority for tax on anything except business profits, plus specific “indirect” taxes on gasoline, tobacco, etc. By numerous Supreme court decisions, wages and salaries are non-taxable “profitless” exchanges of services for money or other considerations.
Deduct 100% of your earnings, and challenge IRS to show the authorizing legislation for taxing them. They have never been able to respond to such challenges, and have in recent years lost about 22 out of 22 jury trials on the subject.
Here’s the bigger picture:
