April 15 will bring a “Quiet Taxpayer revolt.”
Anger over Obama’s destructive tax and spend policies is palpable among patriotic American conservatives.
Some may even risk prison rather than pay their taxes. Nevertheless, they won’t be alone. A portion of Obama’s childlike liberal upper middle class voters will join them, not in protest but in a naïve belief they will be excused by their Dear Leader.
Since day one of Obama’s “Chicago Way” they have watched a parade of Democrat tax cheats be given absolution by other Democrats. Not one tax cheat was rejected by the Senate in a confirmation hearing. Many were approved in spite of being tax cheats.
Liberals don’t see tax cheating as a crime, just a little mistake.
This foolish view will be an important ingredient in a surprising taxpayer revolt.
Among Obama’s most ardent supporters are the type of college educated liberals who rely on their Stock Market supported 401 K retirement plans.
The first week of April will bring ghastly and deeply shocking news to these people.
Barack Obama has destroyed at least Two Trillion dollars of America’s stock holding and the pain this has caused and will continue to generate has yet to be fully realized.
Many will not be able to pay their tax bills, but it’s a good bet they won’t worry about not paying. They hold childlike beliefs Dear Leader’s government would never hurt because of the recession “everybody knows was caused by the evil George Bush.”
These people have gladly and willingly paid their taxes for a lifetime. They don’t know they should be terrorized by what IRS goons can do to them. They’ll see themselves in an emergency situation so they “know” they’ll be excused just like their Democrat heroes have been.
This will be fun to watch.

I’ve been saying for years that there should be no witholding, that everyone should have to pay quarterly estimated taxes like independent contractors.
There would be a tax revolt within a year.
I don’t know what 401(k) losses are supposed to have to do with tax day. No one pays taxes on their retirement account until they take it.
“No one pays taxes on their retirement account until they take it.”
But they do get worried about money in general - no?
Well yeah, of course. But the direct connection to 4/15/2009 isn’t clear to me.
