Think about it, if we all stopped paying taxes, the government would have to find other means of revenue.

But it won't happen, as much as some would like it to.

Politics is the at if the possible. Defying laws just because you don't like them leads to anarchy at best.

We have a system in place to handle this -- use it.

Anarchy is not neccesarily a bad thing. Granted, if all law enforcement were to go on strike there would be a period wherein the bad guys would run rampant. After awhile though, the good guys would get fed up and stabilize things again.
Anti-gunners love to refer to "Dodge City" or "the wild west" as some sort of anarchistic 'boogy man,'but both were pretty tame compared to almost any major modern city. Yet there were no permanent police forces to keep order, only a sheriff or marshal who would deputize citizens when he needed them. Unlike today, ordinary citizens maintained order by stepping in and either stopping lawbreakers or by actually arresting them and transporting them to the sheriff's office.
