    Right now, this administration wants the current government to grind to a halt. Many federal employees can resist most effectively be being as good at their job as possible for the public benefit.

    It’s the next iteration of this government, after they’ve purged the ranks more completely, where militarized incompetence will be antifascist.

      Not paying taxes would work, but only if everyone did it. So is this how we starve the beast? Then again, I feel like I’m already on a few lists, why not paint a target on my back too?

        The federal govt doesn’t actually spend our taxes, they just erase that money from circulation as I understand it.

          There’s not true. There’s MMT which says that taxation is a money sink in an abstract sense. But that’s not a universally-accepted theory, and even if you do accept it it doesn’t say that taxes aren’t necessary. According to what I’m seeing on wikipedia, under “Criticism”, MMT proponents say they never said a government could spend without revenue.

          Both MMT and more widely-accepted economic theories say that if the government prints money without bringing in proportional tax revenue that leads to inflation which gets to a similar result as not having money in the first place.

          In practice the government has bank accounts that tax money goes into, and spending comes out of.
