Yes, if we ALL did this . . . they'd have to print up more fiat at the Federal Reserve.
So what. They don't mind doing that at all. Everything will (still) keep running until it collapses on its own.
You personally, on the other hand, would likely suffer severe problems and possibly get to meet some of those 87,000 heavily armed new IRS agents in person. Would that really advance the cause of freedom?
The other main point I want to make is: it only works if we ALL (or most of us) do it. I can't imagine even 5% of the US taxpaying population putting themselves and their families at risk that way -- not at this point, anyway. By the time that changes, the collapse will be underway and the tactic won't be necessary.
I FEEL the same way you do, Pollycracker -- have for a long time -- but I believe in reality it would be a useless sacrifice.
Morally right but tactically wrong.

Reluctantly agree.
