Kids are using flashmobs as a means
to commit crimes. The idea is that they organize through facebook or twitter to
all meet at some store and then just start taking stuff off the shelves and
walking out with it. The idea is that no one is going to try to stop a mob like
that. It generates fear as well as just the logistical problem.
It is time we organized a flashmob
tax holiday. We need to organize on facebook and twitter for everyone to simply
go exempt on their taxes for one full month. Yes, it would take planning and commitment.
Right now nothing like this happens because the government has been very
effective at scaring and separating us. This is what tyrannies do. This is how
they make sure there is no uprising among the people.
As we can see from Egypt, Libya, and
now Syria, once the idea starts to grow there is really no stopping it. We
would only need to do this for 1 month for the effects to be seen. The best
part of it is that it’s not illegal to go exempt, as long as all your taxes are
paid by April 15th there is no retaliation for this kind of protest,
but what a message this would send!
We need to set a month and commit to do it!
