Stop dooming, its a powerful message regardless of its potency. We are essentially telling the government they no longer represent our interests, and we are no longer willing participants in this charade.

He brings up good points, though, and they need to be disucssed. I'm all for a tax strike, but we have to come up with a real plan. Some patriot who works 9-5 can't just say, "I'm not paying taxes anymore," unless he wants to quit and not have a job.

The optics of it all are incredibly tricky. I think we can do it, but the coordination needs to be on point and massive. If there is no coordination, the IRS and their henchman are just going to pick people off.

To start, we'd need a hundred thousand or more conservative businesses to commit to both not paying taxes and not witholding anything from their employees's checks. But, then what happens when banks stop processing payments for those businesses? You'd then either need a network of conservative banks on board (credit unions?) or a large scale switch to crypto.

See my comment above, and yes I have a nine to five job.
