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.
Yeah no. Time for a tax strike
Think it through...a tax strike would have no effect. None.
They would simply print more money, and they would call it 'justified' in order to cover the 'legitimate taxes' that are not being paid.
In fact, they'd actually make more money if we had a tax strike (because they would simply make up the number they wanted to see).
We need to think past a 'desire to act', and think about 'what happens if we actually do this'?
So we shouldn't bother trying? I mean it's a nice theory, but still needs to be tried to be proven.

States can’t print money, neither can counties and cities. Think Local.
