I didn't say we 'shouldn't try to do something', I simply pointed out that a 'tax strike' wouldn't work. In other words, we should do something, but something that would actually have an effect.
The only thing a 'tax strike' is designed to do is deprive them of money.
Honestly, do you doubt for a second that they would simply 'print more money and ignore us'?
I'm not sure what would work - (perhaps a work stoppage, etc) - but I don't think a tax strike would have any effect on those lawless bastards.

I agree with your economics assessment, and all the negative effects of unidirectional flow. But (in my opinion) that's exactly why they would do it.
They could use our actions as an excuse for them to (further) destroy our economy.
Kings and queens didn't use this option in the past because they weren't trying to destroy their economies.
Notably, it seems likely that they intend to hyperinflate to destroy the currency and break the country.
Kings and queens of ages past were not universally allied together against their people with decades of brainwashing their own Gestapo.
States can’t print money, neither can counties and cities. Think Local.
Yes. Just trade in silver.
Or scalps, if it comes to it! :p /s
