Tea Party 2010: Revolution Brewing? Or Is That Some Weak Tea?
#67 Mike G-Ive advocated the exact same thing myself-one of the first steps in civil disobiedience is to no feed the beast. One of the reasons Solidarity became a force against Polands communist government in the early 80s was Pope John Paul 2nd advocating to the natives to not pay taxes to the oppressive governments. The Czechs later did the same thing with Vlaclav Hamel. One of the biggest reasons the Iron Curtain collapsed was the natives stopped paying taxes. A huge black market in underground goods/services can serve as an economic buffer. Last, but not least, if it comes down to a fight, how many folks think the military/or police forces will support a corrupt government? Id bet at least 1/3 to 1/2 will side with the Tea party movement or its other like minded brethren.
