Tax Revolt

A tax revolt is a movement by individuals or groups opposing government tax policies, often due to perceived high rates or unfairness. Participants may protest, withhold payments, or advocate for lower taxes, arguing that excessive taxation harms economic freedom and personal income. These movements reflect concerns over government spending, fiscal responsibility, and the impact of taxes on business and personal prosperity. Tax revolts can influence policy changes or lead to reforms aimed at reducing tax burdens and increasing taxpayer rights, highlighting tensions between public revenue needs and taxpayers' financial interests.
