"...clearly those who are wealthier would naturally contribute more taxes."

You lost me on that one. If they actually did that, we would not be several trillion dollars in debt. Those who are wealthier have spent decades and lots of money to ensure that they don't pay squat if they can get away with it.

So, the idea would have to be that we convince enough Minnesotans, or Californians, or whichever, to refrain from paying taxes to this regime.

I just read an article where The Lover of Divans said that they were going to withhold Medicaid funding for Minnesota in leu of the fraud allegations.

I guess we need to get started on that telling others to refrain from giving them anything until they stop with the 'return to serfdom' plan that they are implementing.
