All out, complete and total strike / shutdown, unequivocal and without deadline... a refusal to pay mortgages, electricity bills, life assurance, insurance, tax.... in fact anything,

would we fell a little more empowered than we do now, would we not?

If we need full scale anarchy to feel a little more empowered that doesn't say much about us does it? :rolleyes:

we would all phone Joe and tell him what a disgrace it was and how in our day we just got on with it.

Herb Powell · 05-04-2010 02:15PM

we'd have no food.

If nobody paid anything then you wouldn't have no money to not spend

Reminded of South Park:

Stan: So it seems like we have enough people now. When do we start taking down the corporations?
Hippie (takes a drag on his joint): Yeah man, the corporations. Right now they're raping the world for money!
Kyle: Yeah, so, where are they? Let's go get 'em.
Hippie: Right now we're proving we don't need corporations. We don't need money. This can become a commune where everyone just helps each other.
Hippie: Yeah, we'll have one guy who like, who like, makes bread. A-and one guy who like, l-looks out for other people's safety.
Stan: You mean like a baker and a cop?
Hippie: No no, can't you imagine a place where people live together and like, provide services for each other in exchange for their services?
Kyle: Yeah, it's called a town.

What would we do if that happened, i could have a sleep in. Instead of working two jobs and always tired, have to admit that i would love to not pay takes.

El Siglo · 05-04-2010 02:43PM

I'd like to think that it would be something like this...

tipperaryboy · 05-04-2010 03:19PM

It would just cause chaos.

Sofiztikated · 05-04-2010 05:20PM

Why are we doing this?

Eh, no. I'm pretty happy with my lot at the moment.

thetonynator · 05-04-2010 05:36PM

So who is the OP, the great pretender???? Somebody doesn't want to be seen saying this . . .

Jeez, that'd be awful. I hope someone shoots that hippie.

The government would receive no form of taxation at all and the country would be so ****ed on an epic scale the recession would seem like the Boom years in comparison.

Not the answer you were looking for no?

Hank_Jones · 05-04-2010 06:26PM

I would imagine the country would become something akin to the film Mad Max.

Becoming a daily battle of good vs evil.
