Somebody mentioned not paying taxes, and was answered that you’ll go to jail.

However, you can increase the number of dependents, reducing your withholding to zero, and this is legal. You DO want to save the $ to pay your taxes.

I am self-employed, and will do as much business as possible in barter or exchange, if this bill becomes law.

If very many of us reduce the cash flow of the govt. in these ways, it will be noticed.

I know nobody wants to quit their health insurance, and many of us can’t because of it being provided by employers. Insurance companies have some leverage that we don’t have, and it might be possible to write our insurance carriers and influence them. Any advice from insurance experts here?

Some countries have national strikes, seems to get attention.

We need more practical ideas. When the government refuses to listen to a majority who don’t want this bill, we can reasonably look to anybody with leverage, and consider civil disobedience. The tea parties, town halls, and march on Washington, plus a gazillion polls, make it perfectly obvious what the public response is, and if our government ignores us, we need to have more options than sniveling.

They are counting on us submitting, like good little PC citizens. How long do we keep submitting? Where is the line? We could end up like citizens of the USSR, too intimidated to even try, if we wait too long. Keep telling yourself, it could never happen here… They admire Cuba so much…
