4/15: Can you imagine
if a few million people said they refused to support illegal wars, Halliburton, war profiteering, stolen elections, fake news, environmental destruction, endless cover-ups, deceit and lies, lies, lies?

What would happen if half the population started a tax revolt?

just a bit of April 15 daydreaming.....

1. Check out fcnl.com; esp. if you're tempted to feel bad for the rich...
They're already on the radio and writing letters... O, April 15 is sooooo hard on us... But then you look at where the money goes

http://www.fcnl.org/pdfs/taxday_05.pdf

and you can't feel too sorry for them... Essentially, most of our tax dollars go right back into the pockets of the super-rich. And they're expected to live in abject opulence with what's left over...

2. What if people simply refused to pay taxes on gasoline?
Iread today that taxes, state and federal, was 54% of the cost of gasoline. Think of what a huge tax increase that is....
