Successful Tax Resistance During the Last Great Depression. Let's Do It Again!
Submitted by Yvonne Kelly on Fri, 12/19/2008 - 16:17
This is some enlightening history that every government, federal, state and local doesn't want you to know about.
In this 14 min. audio, Lew Rockwell interviews Prof. David Beito who has researched and written about tax resistance in the 1930's --- It's very illuminating:

Sounds cool but just keep in mind that when it comes to the IRS
You have no rights and there is no due process.
They slap a Federal Tax Lien on you (and everything you think you own) and that is it. They will clean out your bank accounts and leverage any existing credit cards to the max and there is not one thing you can do about it.
The IRS has more power that the FBI and NO oversight. They are Organized Criminals.
Been there done, that and can not afford the T-shirt. Still in debt (but not in fear).

Interesting but what about...
...the possibility that because the government gets less tax revenue to spend on their programs due to the tax revolt that we would be forcing them to print more money which will hasten the coming of hyperinflation??!!
Isn't this a possibility? In other words we would go from the frying pan into the fire.

HaHaHa......they have never
HaHaHa......since the introduction of fiat currency in this country they have never depended on our income taxes for revenues..your taxes barely pay the interest on the debt now, they have always depended on printing money that is why we have a fiat system to allow them to operate beyond taxes. Our taxes are a drop in the bucket. Besides the former head of the New York FED, Beardsley Ruml stated that the only reason we have income tax is to force the people to use fiat money, to redistribute the wealth and to maintain social control over the people, but not for government operating revenues under a fiat monetary system because they are not needed when the government can simply print all the money they need.

I have no interest in a tax resistance plan
I only commented in this thread because I am concerned about hyperinflation and thought that a tax resistance plan could possibly increase the chances of hyperinflation. I still want us (the r3volution) to come up with a way to stop or slow down bailouts and/or the government buying equity in failing companies, etc.
So what I'm trying to clarify is whether you believe there's no need for us to try to do anything to prevent hyperinflation because the damage has already been done and it's too late or are you just saying that the idea of tax resistance is pointless?
Please give me some reasons why I/we should work to stop bailouts and government equity buying because I need some motivation.

No, hyper-inflation is
No, hyper-inflation is something beyond normal economic factors...it is not preventable unless the FED is restrained from reacting to a deflationary BUST. Obviously, they are reacting as expected to this particular BUST because the entire fiat system is at the end of its life cycle. There is absolutely nothing to do in such cases. A fiat system has a definitive life span beyond which it simply is a mathematical impossibility for it to continue.
Taxation has nothing whatsoever to do with either deflation, inflation or hyperinflation. Taxation is a capital drain in terms of economic development, but not only monetary expansion.
There is little that can be done to stop or slow down the "bailouts", the course has been set, it was expected by those of us who have followed the FED for decades and studied the FED since its inception. They are using the only tools they have.

It seems to me
that the income tax is also a brilliant scheme to limit social mobility to the upside.

I'm not sure what you mean.
Could you explain what damage has already been done and how the damage that they have already done will lead to hyperinflation?
Are you saying they have already printed enough money for there to be hyperinflation?

Hyperinflation is not merely
Hyperinflation is not merely a monetary event, it is bascially brought about by a psychological trigger when the People lose confidence in the money and the government.
During the last 4 months, yes, the FED has printed more than enough money that WILL cause a massive inflationary event, if not hyperinflationary.
