Come join us in the modern day version of Galt's Gulch! We are refusing to play the game. We buy used and we work to legally deny Big Brother his tax money. You should check your withholding tax and see if you can legally send less to the Government. If you can take the extra cash and either invest it in something safe like a good local bank CD or pay off debt.

Big Brother needs all the withholding tax it can get if more of us reduced the amount we send each paycheck it will squeeze the looters in Washington. (If you get money back on your taxes most likely you can reduce your withholding but not always)
