>>I would join in a tax revolt if I thought it would work. A letter writing campaign to the IRS is not going to do a damn thing. So why should I bother? If you think it will help then you write your letter. <<

There IS a tax revolt going on right under your nose - and it has been for over a decade. The Internet is making it easier to discover and join, as many, many of us have. We just want to pay what the law says - nothing more, nothing less.

I believe you are referring to the WTP approach, which several of us on here obviously agree is a russina roulette approach to protesting this despicable system.

There is another revolution going on that does not require you to put your head on the chopping block, either financially or in terms of your freedom. The FairTax (HR 25)now has 36 co-sponsors in the House and was recently introduced into the senate (s 1493). It is clearly building momentum and is going to be increasingly a visible issue over the next year.

With respect to the 46,000 page mess we have now, the Flat tax would be an improvement, but since we would still have to define that ever elusive term "taxable income", we would not get anywhere near the dramatic reduction in compliance costs which the FairTax would generate. There are a number of other advantages, but I will save those for another post.
