Yes! You're going to see regular folks adopting tactics of leftist punks. They'll trash government offices, overturn and burn government cars, and create enough mayhem to put real fear into these greedy bureaucrats until government backs off. Enough is enough! The Revolt is coming.

I'd like to see that happen, but it won't.

The state will "hand pick" a few individuals who they can trace online. They will then throw the book at them to make them an example for all others who don't pay. They will make the point that all offenders will face the same penalties.

Then they will sit back, maybe toss in a few additional "amnesty periods" and wait for the cash to flow.

Until people are truly threatened, in great numbers, with the loss of their prosperity, you won't see the kind of revolution you're thinking of.

Or if you are correct, until people are threatened with enforcement of the laws, they will break the laws.

Most people already voluntarily report the taxes they owe — when they think there is some chance the state would catch them if they didn’t. Sometimes, high-ranking democrats skip paying their taxes, and we trash them as lawbreakers.

I think we may be getting to that point, sooner than you think. I don't like that the fruit of my labor is being confiscated by Obama's minions for redistribution to those that seek to destroy me. Many others agree.

There will be great numbers of threatened people, and it only takes a small fraction of those numbers that will be willing to take retaliatory action against evil government. If the government fined you heavily enough, you might be inclined to later go postal on them. I'm not advocating this as an option, just saying it's human nature.
