What would happen if the population stopped paying taxes?

The could certainly put liens on everyone's property and seize everyone's bank accounts and such. The IRS will outlast you.

 

We're still enough of a democracy that this is a moot point. If you had a sufficient majority of people behind not paying taxes then they would just vote that way.

Given how effective various movements and protests have been, you should be able to get substantial change with even a dedicated small minority.

Once those don't hold true anymore then you're squarely in second amendment space which is it's own discussion.

However in reality virtually everyone in America supports some level of taxation. Even most libertarians support a minimal level of taxation and government. Really, the anarcho-capitalists are just making corporations the government and things like rents the taxes.

And you have to pay and follow Galt if you wanna live in his gulch.

 

You surely know government means things like law enforcement, military, communications, welfare, health, environment, etc. all of which would disappear...as well as the millions of jobs which are funded by taxpayer revenues...as well as huge financial support to local and state governments...and the stock market and economy will plummet...other than these things it should be a cakewalk if we stop paying taxes.

To answer your question in the OP...no government funding means no police which means no arrests...this should be obvious to you...

 

Dangerous working conditions aren't the same as theft backed by the threat of murder.

 

It's ironic to hear a socialist talking about fantasies. True price discovery in a socialist country is a fantasy. But what you described is the aftermath of a government collapse. That is different from a libertarian society.

 

To answer your question, it would be the end of the world.

Fortunately, most americans are smart enough to know that we have to pay some taxes in a civilized world.

 

Libertarians are not anti government.

They believe in minimum government and maximum liberty.

Since you are educated by Hollywood it is no surprise you are ignorant of that

 

Did that happen when the Government shut down? I'm a 3 time combat pistol shooting champion, I've nothing to worry about but running out of zipper bags.

 

Who said anything about dangerous working conditions? I'm talking about corporations hiring thugs and death squads to murder Union members.

 

That's interesting, I didn't know that Coca Cola was accused of doing that. It's still very different from government though because Coca Cola isn't considered to be exempt from the rules we learn in preschool (don't hit, don't steal), they are just accused of breaking those rules in secret.

 

No, it would force the government to the negotiation table with The People for redress of their grievances.

This would, of course, require a charismatic leader to rally The People to action against oppressive taxation. That hasn't gone so well for said leaders in the past.

 

Hey look, someone else who doesn't know the difference between an anarchist and a libertarian!

 

All the Federal parks would close because our tax dollars are the only thing making nature do its thing apparently. I remember this from the last time the government ran out of money.

 

What SPECIFICALLY is the minimum government the libertarians support? No vague platitudes....give me details.

"What if Kate Upton became my girlfriend?"
