If you tell them it will cost them half of their paycheck to take care of old people, they will simply refuse to pay and dare you to arrest them or they will get rid of the need to pay by eliminating the program.

LOL, yeah, that will happen, suddenly tax collection and politics and elections won't mean anything, because Obama's most solid voting block doesn't want to participate.

Laws and governments only work when the masses buy into it. If every American refused to pay their taxes tomorrow, the system would crash. That is why most Americans don’t mind paying some taxes (preferably their fair share). We understand cause and effect and long term consequences. The upcoming generation has the attitude “if we break it, we will fix it, no big deal”. That is as long as they will think about it before moving on to something else. Even now, most of the Obama kids have wandered off to something else, he was simply the fad of the moment.

Somewhere in all of this is a good science fiction novel on the impact off technology on a mass population turning them into stimulus junkies to the point where Rome burns while they surf the net.
