What if 1M Taxpayers Went Galt?

Glenn Beck wonders what would happen if a million taxpayers stopped paying taxes. He suggests that they can’t put us all in jail. I’d like to remind him that they can take our property and garnish our wages. Sure, a taxpayer under those circumstances might not be caged. But he certainly would not be free.
There’s certainly no reason we cannot, as Ghandi suggested, withhold payment of taxes, yet still stay within the law. Just make the decision to earn less. That’s a difficult decision for people to make as it involves a bit of personal sacrifice, but it’s far less sacrifice than the penalties for tax evasion, and it’s more effective. [Read more...]

Added: “Late night updates from Joey Smith and Thomas Lamb: Large Democrat Donor groups not only remain open in all locations, but have their competition eliminated… and/or can purchase for pennies on the dollar.” Niiice.
Rush is talking about this right now.

Cuba announces new austerity plan
May 27, 2009 Leave a Comment
Cuba has announced it will introduce an austerity programme in June to try to offset the impact of the international financial crisis and reduce energy use.

While I am glad the California Supreme Court has upheld Prop 8, I do NOT believe a single heart will be turned to God through legislation.
via The Rogue Angel. I’m glad the court upheld it too, but it’s going to go through eventually. At some point, California voters are going to tire of fighting it or even come to the point where they actively approve of it.
