kane, keep in mind that most people who have to actually pay their own taxes...own their own business.
And even though people with their own business might not be multi-millionaires...for the most part they are people who are busting ass and making enough money to live comfortably.
Now for the tens of millions of people who are employed by other people and just squeak by on the bills? They would react a LOT differently to having to figure out how to write that check to the govt.
It would be more of an immediate hardship on them.
That's why they would be more prone to revolt against that.
There's a reason that the IRS came up with the plan to force employers to withhold taxes and have to pay out all the paperwork and accounting fees to do so.
1. It saved the greedy govt. the money to have to collect their own fucking taxes.
2. It sedates those working class poor to middle income people because they don't feel the sting of those quarterly checks.
