The ATC strike was a "Wildcat" strike, (as in "illegal"), which appears to be what you propose...assuming YOU'RE double-secret plan has those not already furloughed walking during the worst economy since the Great Depression. (See how I used "you're"...kinda' like a contraction, eh?) You can't refuse to pay YOUR taxes and expect no repercussions, unless YOU'RE Tim Geittner. It's illegal. Being fed-up with this lifestyle is understandable, but this rant of yours seems half-baked at best.

So a new poster on APC lobs an idea grenade, showing an apparent lack of basic contractual knowledge, the R.L.A., or economics and we're to believe you speak for us because...? Are you an airline pilot? Have you ever been through a strike or furlough like many here have?

Whatever YOU'RE - (those pesky contractions)- selling, I'm not sure this thread is the right place. Try Mary Kay...they have neat products, and you get to drive around in a pink car...if you don't already.
