one thing i love about someone screaming "tax revolt" is:

just how do we revolt against the taxation?

stop buying cigarettes? (i've been trying for 6 months)

tell the gas attendant that you are only giving him $5 for the
$10 of gas and he can just not remit that $5 of tax?

go to payroll and say "well, gee. i'm revolting against taxation. so,
could you please not deduct income tax from my pay?"

if we're going to revolt, it's not enough to say "the government should
do this or that", we must come up with ways in which individuals can
get involved.
