Stop paying taxes?

Yes, use the black market. Stop paying income tax if possible. There are lots of ways to starve the beast. Some are more drastic than others. Recently I talked with a woman who for over 30 years has made less then legally required to pay income tax and doesn’t file a 1040. She live below the radar. For some people that’s good… for most not. If more and more people stand up against the theft even in small ways it can cause an effect. The can’t print money forever.

Write angry letters to politicians?

Yes, DownsizeDC makes it easy as does GOA and other organizations. They do help make a difference which is why I donate to DownsizeDC.

Join the protesting masses…

In some cases it’s good to protest or have rallies. The RNC protests in 2004 by the majority of people was pointless but the MLP went and broke the law by protesting outside the "free speech zones" and we got international attention. I’m not claiming it changed anyone’s minds about liberty but the social aspects can re-enforce those participating’s will to fight and perhaps will positively effect someone else.

Call for the dissolution of the police department?

Sure, why not? Lots of freedom activists will tell government employee’s to quit their jobs and call for the marketization of the "services" they provide. If you don’t actively communicate with people and show them a better way they will often ignorantly stay place and accept the condition handed to them. It’s a difficult process to break a person from the lies and fraud but just this morning I spent 30 minutes on the subway describing Ron Paul’s positions. She didn’t necessarily agree that we should allow for a free market of doctors for example but she was willing to discuss it. She agreed we had major problems with education. She seems to accept that we could stabilize SSI by letting people opt out and bringing home our troops. She’d heard of the man but never discussed his policies in detail or had them explained. She was honestly interested in finding solutions to problems she witnesses but doesn’t have the time or means to research on her own. And I think many people if not all people are that way. Everyone has their thing and you can get in the door with providing a freedom based solution to their issue and thats the foot in the door. I talked with another woman at work who was in agreement that cops got away with whatever they like. That allowed me to bring up other stories and for her to bring up her own and I could build on that. I don’t understand the mentality that nothing can be done. Everything can and should be done and it doesn’t take much time to do them. Ignorance is the primary block and with ease of communications there is no better time to work on removing them. It doesn’t take much to move a societies moral compass. The Ron Paul Revolution is at max 5% of the population and yet they are making huge inroads to transforming the Republican party and have given the Libertarian party new credibility.
