Here's an idea [View all]

JUST ASKING FOR A FRIEND. How about a tax revolt? We can't thrown tea into a harbor so what if we just didn't file our taxes this year. If hundreds of thousands of people did this, what could the IRS do? Especially if there's still a hiring freeze on? We could just say that we do not recognize this government as valid.

Discuss.
