Civil disobedience may be the only recourse. As has been pointed out many times, we have passed the tipping point where more than 50% of the voting population is comprised of entitlement recipients, government workers, other public service employees, union members, AGW believers, eco-extremists and those on the “winners” side of over-reaching government regulations.

We need to band together, decide on an appropriate flat tax rate and send only that to the IRS as conscientious objectors to the growth in government beyond that specified by the Constitution. The rate will be reduced if they try to compensate with increases in borrowing. They can’t put 30 million people in jail.
