Are you up for a cathartic act of civil disobedience?
I have an idea. Why don’t we all register as Democrats, and we’ll never have to pay taxes again?

Perfect qualifications for a democrat, like a badge of honor.
Maybe we should have a million man protest march on the White House by good honest tax paying middle class Americans…yes Americans with American citizenships!
