They already run a deficit, so they’ll run a bigger deficit. Printing money is a flat tax on everyone. So not paying taxes is just applying a flat tax on others.
Plus you get to go to jail and cost me money to support you there.
I’m all for effective protest, but this doesn’t seem to be it.
And what would that do?

(Stupid question) Why would they print more money instead of just having a higher deficit until congress increases taxes on the poor?
It’s the same thing really. When they run a deficit, they’re paying money to somebody, so that money enters circulation causing inflation.
