[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 97804, member: 1912"] Lest I become a defender of taxation , there is a chance that leaders of a tax revolt are actually engaging in the act of sedition. In a perfect world free of any government the rules of cavemen would apply and these fine upstanding citizens would not be guilty of sedition. No in such a world the caveman with the biggest club would collect taxes as he saw fit. Not a perfect world but free of government and the oppressive police, IRS and governing bodies. However if we do agree that we need some type of government and that we may occasionally have to fix our roads, or protect our citizenry from the caveman with the big club then we would probably agree that we have to hire someone to manage the business of government and we will probably have to collect some type of taxes to pay for what the government will do. The debate about how much government and how much in taxes is what seperates us. the concept that we can somehow all live together without any government perhaps a little extreme. So if we can all agree that at least some government is warranted , some taxes required to pay for the common good then any effort to organize a revolt against any funding of government could realistically be an act of sedition. Perhaps even treason. [/QUOTE]
