Who says we can't have a tax revolt? What would the government do - show their true colors and "waterboard' us all - put us in prison? They could not afford that since we would not be paying for the salaries? Or would they miraculously find the money that this country supposedly does not have? We don't know "the half" ...more

Thanks, Shawn. This world is a pretty scary place right now. This is the first time I have participated in something like this - hope I don't get arrested.......Ha! Ha!
