Maybe December? So we all take money out of banks, at least current month salary, and spend cash only. I think that is something that shouldn't be hard to do and it would show if we, the people, have any power left to make positive changes for the future or we can just surrender and eat bugs.

Edit:

If I’m trading my only true value, my time, then I want to have 100% control over it, not to depend if some bank would freeze my account and I lost 1/3 of my life irreversible.

Are you living of social welfare? Why would you pay 30-40% taxes and have private healthcare, private pension, private highways...? What are you living for, what are you trading your life for?

So people can have social welfare and everyone can have access to healthcare and what not. It doesn't bother me if it's bettering the lives of those around me

If you are going to respond to me with 4chan screenshots I'll respond with season 10 episode 21 of Family Guy.

I am fine with my taxes going towards the common good and feel like unfettered capitalism would cause rampant inequality.

You will be surprised to learn that your federal taxes don’t go towards anything. The government just deletes it.
