Discussion topic: What could happen if we the people just didn’t pay our taxes? If participation was large enough, it could have the possibility of being a huge movement. Thoughts?
Edit: Yes, most employers take out taxes automatically. So why do we have to “file.” You know, the whole “tax season thing.” What if we didn’t file?

They don't need taxes when they have an unlimited money printer. The Grace commission determined that all income taxes went toward the national debt and didn't buy a single service from government. Our money isn't ours anymore, it belongs to a private cabal of banks. It hasn't been our money since 1913. Our forebears weren't paying attention at the time and let these criminals rob us blind for generations. It is no coincidence that the Fed and the IRS were created in the same year. We didn't tax personal income before the Fed. There is only one solution, end the Fed.
Incidentally, many problems we now suffer from would be solved by doing this. If you want to read an interesting take on this, read The Cultural and Spiritual Legacy of Fiat Inflation by Jorg Hulsmann.
