America was founded on "no taxation without representation". What representation does the average American have now?
Americans returning to their roots, organising to starve this government of funding and creating community funds with the money that would be spent on taxation would make a huge change. Using money for community good instead of fascism. With transparency and equitable funding, as taxation should be.
The difficulty is it would need to be organised among many people. A few individuals withholding taxes will just bring the hammer of the government down upon them. Several million, with perhaps a couple states as well, would be a very different story.
Yeah, sure, Musk and Bezos etc could theoretically fund things from their own personal wealth for a while. But we've seen their personalities, they're too greedy to do that. And it's not sustainable long term.
Perhaps a good place to start, is here:
