It would only backfire and YOU would be the one to pay out the @zz for penalities. It would be feasible if enough people would participate, but most don't want to risk losses. I have said many times we are being robbed through our Federal taxes. We shouldn't even BE paying Fed. tax. I believe a tax on consumer items would be a much more FAIR way to tax Americans. Like we do our sales tax. Add the tax to items purchased. Then we would pay for the amount we spent. We would then have a choice as to whether we wanted to buy those expensive sports shoes for $200 or go to the Dollar Store and buy last years model for $8. The taxes would be on the amount spent. We could control how much we PAID by how much we SPENT.
Federal tax is a lie. There is no law that says we are suppose to pay a Fed. tax on our incomes. That tax has already been paid by the companies we work for through Corp. Tax. It should not be taxed TWICE.

In the UK about 15 years ago the government changed local taxation so that everyone paid the same, irrespective of income or property value. They also introduced the new law in Scotland a year earlier than the rest of the country. Thousands refused to pay and many went to jail. The government ignored the protests until the towns close to London started protesting. It was swiftly withdrawn.
The point is that there must be a broad coalition for it to work. Government must feel under pressure. It would take a high-profile, credible, charismatic leader to pull this off.
As for the Boston Tea Party, I don't think that had anything to do with the rate itself. It was more to do with the principle of a British company being given exemptions that no one else got.
Edit: Cherokee is wrong about incomes being taxed twice. Corporations get to deduct wages paid from their gross income, so they do not pay income tax on the wages paid out. The tax withheld is given as a credit in the individual's return. Internal Revenue Code section 1 charges income tax. Section 61, as amplified by section 63, charges tax on wages and salaries.

Hell yeah I would. Tax revolts are as American as apple pie and our tax code is a steaming pile of crap used by bureaucrats to attack and destroy anybody who gets in their way. Geithner and Rangel get a free pass while the rest of us get threatened with guns and jail time if we "make a mistake." There is no mention of wealth redistribution in the constitution so I find it a shame that our federal government has become nothing but a wealth redistribution tool for the elites and the lazy welfare suckers.

POINT
The amazing thing is... I believe the Boston Tea Party happened because of high taxes and they were only having to give something like a mere 3%...
Are we getting "ripped" or what???
A nation of ninnys... ??? No backbone to stand up to it?
What would they do put us all into Federal Prison.. something to think about or just wish about???
GOOD LUCK

LOL... That is the exact thing I brought up to my husband last night! The only thing is you can never rally the majority of the people to take a stand on anything. AND It would have to be a majority to keep the few from being prosecuted.
The politicians forget much too quickly that we are the ones that elect them and pay their salary...a salary I could live on nicely and I'm sure you could too.

The goverment and their henchmen has an army of "heavys" out there, and mean to stay in power whatever, and believe me they would use them to persuade the population to get back in line by whatever means; In dictatorial uk,we had a a case of a sick lady being wheeled into court on a stretcher, because she refused to pay her poll tax;and there have been many more cases, in a simular vein, of even local goverments,useing such "persuasive" methods. En mass.forget it, people are too materialistic. a charismatic leader would soon see the inside of prison walls.!?
