“I don’t think the U S has four years left.”

You may be right. If the Bipartisan Oligarchy has really, deliberately disenfranchised THE TAXPAYING portion of the electorate....there really is no obligation to continue to pay taxes as our claim to representation has been revoked.

“Direct” disenfranchisement refers to actions that explicitly prevent people from voting or having their votes counted, as opposed to “indirect” techniques, which attempt to prevent people’s votes from having an impact on political outcomes (e.g., gerrymandering, ballot box stuffing, stripping elected officials of their powers).

The issue of taxation without recourse to representation is of course the basis of the Revolutionary War.

Or another approach is to go Galt and stop pulling the wagon full of looters. Minimize your income, don't expand or close down in the face of ever higher taxes fees and permits. Sign up for government benefits wherever possible. Collapse the beast. This will not end well, but we can't pull back for the present course without great pain and sacrifice.
