No one is going to get on board with not paying taxes because that invites violence from the state. Unions are already looked upon very unfavorably by the state. Law enforcement is used illegally for union busting. If you give them a legal reason to beat your ass and throw your in jail they will take it.
The fed is on its way to bankrupting itself. There is no need to fight it.
Until the bloated federal govt collapses under its own weight people will just have to get what they can through things like unions. They're only looking out for what's best for themselves. Calling them ignoramuses is not helpful and not true.
