    For countries that issue their own currency, such as the USA, taxes don’t really pay for governments’s spending, as the governments control the issue of money. Governments create money when they spend and taxes cancel money out of existence (and force the currency into use).

    All this to say, not paying taxes will never stop the US government from spending money. However, it could have strong symbolic power!
