adminCarl Higbie used his Newsmax platform to do what too few in conservative media dare: name the outrage and tell working Americans how fed up people really are. On his Friday broadcast Higbie urged viewers to withhold federal income taxes from their paychecks as a blunt instrument to force the Treasury and feckless Republicans to stop tolerating fraud, waste, and betrayal.
This “tax revolt” chatter is not coming from nowhere — it’s erupting across social media and conservative circles because Americans see billions flushed into scams and grift while their own paychecks shrink. Influencers, lawmakers, and grassroots patriots have all been asking the same question: why should honest, hardworking citizens keep funding a corrupt system that rewards fraud and punishes the builders?
Make no mistake: Higbie’s call is a wake-up to Republicans who have talked tough about cutting spending but keep folding when the time comes to actually hold Washington accountable. The argument that letting tax cuts lapse or failing to reform federal spending will force a dramatic tax burden on middle America is exactly why pressure — loud and sustained — is necessary now.
Higbie even suggested the remedy might require extraordinary measures, telling viewers that mass withholding would get the Treasury’s attention and asking whether the president should consider protective action for patriots who resist this theft. Conservatives who love the rule of law should still value the Constitution more than the comfortable careerism of some GOP leaders; when institutions fail the people, protest is not only understandable, it is honorable.
History reminds us that tax resistance has long been a tool of principled civil disobedience — from colonial “no taxation without representation” to modern acts when citizens felt their rights and money were being stolen by officials. Americans contemplating bold action should learn the lessons of past movements: organize publicly, make your grievances unavoidable, and be ready to accept the moral consequences while demanding legal and political change.
So here’s the bottom line for every working man and woman: stop trusting the same Washington charlatans who promised reform and delivered more waste, and start forcing results through pressure at the ballot box and in the streets of public opinion. Call your members of Congress, flood Republican offices with one demand — cut the pork, protect honest taxpayers, and stop the fraud — and let every feeble politician know that Americans are done being milked.
