Plummeting tax revenue is the surest proof that there is no recovery.

“Plummeting tax revenue is the surest proof that there is no recovery.”

I want you to know that I’m doing my part. Changed my withholdings to M-4 last week and increased my pre-tax dollars for my medical slush fund and my 401K at work.

I’ve stopped all discretionery spending in my household budget so I’m paying in less sales tax to my state government and I’m watching my gasoline use like a hawk for the same reason. I’ve started making my own wine to avoid alcohol taxes, too. Wisconsin doesn’t tax food...YET!

I’ll bare-bones it for a while. It’s not much, but it’s another few hundred a month that’s not going into the hands of Government.

However...will this make any bit of difference, or am I just fooling myself?

What’s the tipping point for when it all collapses, and how else can I speed that along? ;)
