shaking up this old thread.

I have been listening to all of the spending the new POTUS has been spouting without regard to the voice of the people. In this case when I say "People" I mean the TAX PAYERS. It occurred to me that in history money has always been the lever/attention getter. One of my favorites was the Boston Tea Party. I believe that if a large enough movement of TAX payers decided not to pay taxes for a couple of years then the Tax and spend POTUS would get the message. It's not tax evasion unless you skip a year and pay some year after the unpaid year. If you pay the next owed year and pick up there you are not evading. They can't put us all in jail and will not have the money to be so bold with. My 2¢, Blitzzz

Actually, there is an even easier tactic that would be absolutely legal. Just quit spending and purchase only true essentials. Sales tax revenues would decline, as would profits for those who sold discretionary items. Individuals would simply save the money or reduce debt.

However...luxuries become wants, wants are perceived as needs, and the spending will never decline.
