Idea for a non-violent revolt.
Just my 2 cents:

What if every American who fills out a W-2 wrote exempt on it on the same day? How fast would it be for the ol' gov't to notice? Just an idea.

peace

I have a better idea, quit working and stop paying tax, if 40% or more do it the economy fails in a couple weeks, then rebuild, and do like iceland, tell the world bank to stick it!

Re: Idea for a non-violent revolt.
Dangerous ideas.
Why not have everyone simply refuse to pay their taxes by April 14, 2014? That would start off peaceful, until those uttering such ideas, such as us, which I am not advocating so much as saying could happen (stay away from me IRS, FBI, CIA etc), are suddenly taken away in the middle of the night never to be heard of or seen again!

Remember terrorists used to be called rebels, and freedom fighters, back when we needed them to topple governments, for their countries resources. Now they are getting ready to label us terrorists because we feel the government has over grown it's usefulness and the current system has cancer, it is stage 5! so we need to allow the current system to die so we can build one for the people by the people, and revoke corporate rights, ban patents of plants humans, and animals. The best way to do this non violently is to starve them of taxes, we are the reason they continue to control us! Nice to see some are thinking straight, and more long term than a politician would.

Re: Idea for a non-violent revolt.
Or how about we just keep calling them on their bullshit, because they seem to not know how to handle the truth.

There is only so many times you can say, "I'm not going to answer the question" or "I don't remember" before we as the bringers and protectors of truth draw the line.

Here is your line.

Multiple points of failure would impair numerous federal services. Mom's social security, granny's medicare, etc.

Most likely, many would turn up dead without a single shot being fired.

Yikes. Effin yikes! That would suck, dØØd.

Kinda raises the question of whether or not non-violent revolution is really non-violent if there's a death toll.

That would be great wouldn't it? It would take a massive effort to get everyone on the same page though. We conservatives are a cantankerous lot.

I wish we could do something within the law and nonviolent, but something that would definitely send a message loud and clear.

There is no such thing as a non-violent revolt. Look at what Occupy Wallstreet accomplished...They wasted alot of time and money and produced no permanent results. The victory of Occupy movement was only imaginary and temporary.
