DruSam, I don't think people that stop paying taxes are dumbasses. In fact, I see them as brave freedom-fighters. It's these type of people that secured our country's independence. I wish I was brave enough to stand up to the biggest bully this planet has ever seen - the USA FEDGOV.
Here's a website dedicated to fighting these pricks:
We The People Foundation & We The People Congress
About 1500 of these guys took out a NY Times full page ad declaring that they were gonna stop paying taxes. To date, the IRS has only persecuted 3 or 4 of them. If 1500 people are willing to publicly flip-off the IRS, imagine how many do it privately. My guess is millions. If it ever gets to 5% I think we will see a sea-change in gov't behavior.
Right now the IRS seems to have the strategy of going after the highest profile cases. This way they can scare the rest of us into submission. Behind the scenes I suspect there are IRS insiders that see it as a losing battle and they are employing stop-gap hail mary's. I bet these bloodsucking traitors to the constitution hate the internets =)
=============================================
All you young guys keep saying it's been this way a long time. But really it hasn't. Only the last 40 years have seen this massive growth in taxation. At the beginning of that period people were fine with paying more and more taxes because they feared for their lives. This was the Cold War. Nuclear
annihilation was a very real possibility. When the Cold War ended, our government went out and found new enemies (reminds me of 1984 - the book, not the year!). These new enemies DRUG DEALERS and TERRORISTS became the rallying cry for more powers and taxes. Earlier generations would not have stood for this trickery... but the baby boomers grew up with huge government and didn't know better. Plus gov't was buying off the old folks with Medicare and SS. This is a SCAM of magnificent proportions. We are the fucking suckers.
