I think you're wrong on this one. They live hand-to-mouth. The debt increases by the minute. And if enough people start staging a tax revolt, they will act quickly to squash it. This is a very slippery slope. But if enough people feel empowered enough to stop paying taxes, there's nothing they can do. Maybe they'll start printing more, but that just plays into our hand.

We agree then. =)

Although I don't think it would take many to have the desired effect' Even if a few thousand vocally said 'fuck it' and stopped paying there's not much they can do.

What will they do? Prosecute 1000s in the legal system and lock 'em up? I don't think so. Their system would grind to a halt.

And if 1000s are doing it vocally, 10s of 1000s more will follow. Nobody wants to be extorted. The dam would break.
