I think it'd be a fuckload easier than arranging a general strike. No missed work, no lost income, no need to coordinate a universal date to act on collectively, just a little paperwork and some effort to maintain savings. As more people hear and get upset, the money faucet slowly shuts more and more.

Am I high or is everyone in this thread just ignoring that the IRS can garnish your wages and put levies on your accounts?

Unless everyone triggers a bank run to get their dollars into coffee cans, taking what you owe is as simple as a few key strokes.
