Why does the IRS pay particular attention to us and ignore the communists? Orders from above. We, Conservatives and Christians along with returning veterans and a couple of other groups are considered by the Fredera Government to be enemies of the State,or terrorists.
The only way you can avoid paying taxes is either stop buying or if you must buy, either buy the least expensive or used.
Spend less.Buy only essential items.Don't buy Hollwood's videos. Don't buy a new vehicle. If you need one, purchase a used one. Don't fall for the "environmentalist" crap.
On a personal note. I was a NASCAR fan. They announced something along the line of : This year, 2011, they would be going "environmental friendly" by adding an eythelnol mixture to their fuel.I will have something to do on race day.
What you are recommending is called an "Economic Boycott". Such an action is even more effective than just withholding your tax payments. When enough people boycott buying, the economy slows not just the government. People are put out of work which is one way to reduce the payroll taxes they would have paid. States and cities do not get their expected revenue from sales and property taxes and states have to cut back on their hidden welfare payments.
An economic boycott is very effective if people join.
I suspect there has been an economic boycott going on in Amerika since THE ONE was elected.
