You are correct in expressing doubts. But without a substitute, the tax protesters dreams of the end of the income tax system is simply that...a dream.

What was it that was said by those that challanged and rejected abusive authority?

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn,

that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

(I broke up this into bite sized bits for emphasis.)

These are the words of those that dreamed of a different government then we have today. I want that dream back.

These words were backed up with specific charges against George III. Which of them pertains to the issue at hand? Also, don't forget that the very men who approved of those words by signing that document also put down Daniel Shays rebellion and instituted the alien and sedition act. The leaders of our country soon found that the shoe was on the other foot.
