    I am not surprised.

    What is surprising to me is why any “blue” state is paying federal taxes or following any laws… or any of us for that matter. The law clearly no longer applies.

      Because they’ll arrest you if you don’t? I mean the answer is pretty obvious.

      Just because the law doesn’t apply to them doesn’t mean illegal actions by dissidents won’t be met by extreme violence. In fact we’re already seeing this.

      If we could all do civil disobedience together simultaneously it would work but it’s not clear how to organize this without any leaders who can be rounded up.

        I’m not advocating for it, but if people shot the SS when they came to illegally kidnap their neighbors they’d get the idea.

        We could collectively file exempt. Even if it was only for a month that’d be a statement. Of course we’d have a ton of people with tax issues the next year but getting that forgiven should be part of the demands.
