In offline life (as opposed to what decorum I must practice in JimRob's cyber parlor) I tell people plainly that if you are not starving the beast, you are enabling it. You are part of the problem if you are paying taxes. Yes, if you just refuse, you can go to jail. Yes, it entails hardship and sacrifice.
But winter at Valley Forge it is not.
You say you love your country? You say it's being destroyed before your very eyes? But you won't even put away your wallet?
This country was forged by men who committed their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor. It will take similar commitments to save it.
So yes, at the very least, starve the beast, and if you are NOT starving the beast, you are supporting it while it devours what you claim to love.

65 years ago today my uncle was freezing his feet off during the Battle of the Bulge and his 3 brothers (including Dad) were fighting in the other war theatres. I’ll be damned if I’m going to let my father’s and uncles’ sacrifices be in vain. You bet my powder’s dry!
