One month, just one month of taxpayer revolt, no taxes to the FEDS would straighten every single politician out. But alas! That possibility was foiled with mandatory payroll deductions.
What would happen? First of all, most money isn't money anymore. Those federal taxes are an electronic transfer. We can't decide not to have the transfer made unless we're self-employed. Even if that did happen, the feds would just do more of that quantitative easing thing amd invent money out of thin air. It might even help the economy, if people kept their money and spent it locally.
The only way for positive change is for some of these actions to get done on the state-wide level, with governors showing some independence. Governors for at least the past 20 years have been mostly useless at stepping up as the feds have taken away states rights. I'm beginning to think the only solutions will involve some form of collapse of the federal gov.
