    Denny Crane should know that's illegal, and could be construed as treason.

    It is not treason.

    It's exercising our 1st amendment right of free speech, to protest what the government does.

    Not paying taxes is free speech? Bet you haven't tried that, have you?

    Sure it is. But the govt. has bigger guns than we do, and they withhold taxes so we don't get the chance to revolt and not pay.

    Are you sure you don't have the chance? Seems to me Libertarians are pretty revolting already.

    You could always claim 50 dependents so that your withholding was minimized, and then refuse to pay any more.

    Well, I'm going to pay my taxes, so I guess I've foiled your plan to destroy the USA.

    Oh, I think you are exaggerating. The only way Denny could be wrecking the country is if he were able to convince anyone of anything... :)

    Unfortunately D.C. my savior, has no real power.

    Washington D.C. however does, and they've failed. :)

    I keep hearing about civil liberty and rights, but very few people (if any) talk about responsibilities that come with those rights and liberties. A society can't function having one without the other.

    And I think it's irresponsible to have a platform based on "civil liberties" without calling out "civic responsibilities." Haven't the D's been doing that for almost a century? How is packaging it in a "smaller gov't" speech anything new or potentially game-changing?

    To be neutral, no one on the (R) side is taking that up, either...but I don't hear Romney/Gingrich/etc. talking about civil liberties much, other than the occasional "I'd quash them if I didn't like them."

    No, Republicans have not been about "smaller gov't" the past 70+ years. That's why it is game changing.

    If you're nuts then go break the law and get arrested.
