Freepers are gonna try not paying taxes

Viva La Cheapo Revolucion! Also, violence is advocated.

Windflier has the plan:

I've proposed that we post a website where Americans can go to anonymously join a nationwide tax revolt. Each person would simply check a box to indicate that they agree to begin withholding all payments to the federal government, once the effort has reached ten million participants.
Once the ten million number has been reached, the announcement to begin the revolt will be posted large on the front page of the site.
This needs to be done, for the sake of the continued existence of our constitutional republic. Outside of an armed rebellion, I don't know a better way for The People to re-assert their proper authority over the federal government.

Baynative agrees:
There are two alternatives I see:
1. Armed revolution - march on the Capitol and demand that congress stand down and go home alive. Would Army and National Guard kill civilians?
2. I'd prefer a far reaching tax revolt. All employed persons request maximum deductions immediately and all private filers make every extension request possible - maybe even stop paying taxes altogether
So who is not taking maximum deductions already?

Candor7 is more pithy:
Take it to the streets, Destroy ACORN.
Refuse to pay federal taxes.
Mark was here goes all natural law:
The DoI is the backstop for the Constitution. No law can morally trump it. The Constitution can easily become another Articles of Confederation.
Erm, not post-Civil War it can't.

semantic doesn't think we even need to stop paying taxes:
The USSR collapsed without a fight. One day it simply disappeared. That is what we are looking at.
I seem to recall a coup. Also, Russia still existing.

  1. I fail to see how ACORN and taxes have anything to do with each other...

  2. Part of the Stimulus goes to ACORN, see, so that's your tax dollars going to make a secret Obama police squad of some sort. It's sure not going to help people get into homes, that's just a clever ruse!

    Remember these guys are influential. It's gonna be a heckuva four years.

  3. Congress has voted 61-36 for cloture on the stimulus bill and the freepers are going nuts:

    Just imagine what they'll be saying tomorrow when the bill passes.

  4. A common theme throughout the thread cited by euphgeek seems to be the necessity of defeating the four GOP senators who voted with the Democrats in a primary challenge from the right. Um, okay! Yes, please, that'd be another 4 democratic seats!
