What would happen if we all stopped withholding federal taxes as a protest?

Just fuck it and ignore it?

Well if EVERYONE does it they would just pass a law to withhold via employers without your consent. The problem is they print money. In many countries tax evasion is the cultural norm. But what they do is print money.

Not only this, consider the current tax code. If you tax the rich, who provide the jobs and have the connections they are just going to pass those costs onto employees with lower wages.

In large part we are experiencing what happened in the late stages of ancient Rome when wealthy landowners were give a taxation responsibility and they then had to collect from their "peasants". It was the creation of serfdom.

And it's what we are seeing now. So idiots who think a progressive tax is great are only arguing for their own enslavement.

Exactly go to Russia or Ukraine and no one pays taxes. But they just print money and skim it off corporations who are in bed with the government. People do not understand they can tax you indirectly through your employers or much more deviously through inflation.

Ditching the US dollar and using bitcoin or alternate payment options would be far more effective. Get off their crooked accounting scheme.
