We will not pay: the Americans withholding their taxes to fight Trump

Inject this video into the liberal consciousness...

The problem isn't the dot, or the gang of enforcers. If the majority of the koolaid-drinking throng actually believed taxation is theft, there would be no taxation. As a side note, it's interesting that there are more IRS enforcers than representatives of the people.

Of course we should have some say. For years we have been sending people to Washington with specific orders to end the scourge of abortion. None of them did anything. Now Trump has taken a baby step in the right direction.

But nonpayment of taxes is not a constitutional way to redress grievances against government.

How do the kids say?

All taxation is theft.

The video is not very convincing. Most liberals know that the tiny dot represents millions of people in the society who voted for them. Also, very few of them are calling for lowered taxes for every body. In fact the majority would the little dot to increase the taxes on the 1% so that they can get more of the programs they like. Programs like police, fire services, road works, justice system, NASA etc etc.

They see the wars as the price they have to pay for getting the goodies they want and they are wiling to pay for it. This video would be dismissed out of hand by many liberals because the premise that the one dot does not represent a huge chunk of the population is wrong. Freedom is not popular while statism is popular.

Uh....income tax IS unconstitutional.

Post #11 cracks me up.

I just knew the Trumpsters wouldn't support this.

This is pure liberty gold. Eagerly supportive of this form of protest and civil disobedience.

There's a really great documentary about the what Randy Kehler and Betsy Corner went through called An Act of Conscience.

Except when the pendulum swings back to the left they'll be right back to advocating for theft because social contracts, muh roads, and it's the price we pay for living in a civilized society.

Peter Schiff's father died in prison over this crap. Literally millions of people are financially devastated after the IRS gets finished with them. But I am supposed to be happy because the snowflake tantrum du jour happens to coincide with my personal beliefs for a few brief moments in time?

Some of you buy happiness pretty cheaply, but I still cannot afford it.

 

[euphemia]

Where was this form of civil disobedience eight years ago, or even four years ago? Making Trump the issue will not make the point that government is the issue.

True.

Occupy Wall Street: "Right on, down with fascists!"
Occupy a wildlife refuge: "Send in the drones!"

And I'll bet these tax protesters still rant that the top 1% should have to pay a 99% income tax rate.

many people called for it
many already do it and have for years
Craig T. Nelson the actor called for a tax revolt on the tonight show in 2009 for instance

Then you wake up and realize that this is just partisans doing what they do best. The democrats care about the govt debt when republicans are in office and vice versa, this happens on issues of war, civil liberties,executive power, etc etc. They don't really care about the issue in front of them, just the opponent. The pendulum swings and whatever gain you thought you made evaporates.

This has been such a vicious cycles that the actions of the two parties are becoming very predictable. I have personally given up hope and just here for the lawls now

The Constitution gives us the freedom of peaceful assembly to redress grievances against government. If we arer going to talk about the Constitution, then we have to be as consistent as we expect government to be.

If we are going to talk about the Constitution, then we should begin with the premise that the Constitution doesn't "give" us the freedom of peaceful assembly to redress grievances against government
