this is my personal philosophy also

i have done conditional acceptance successfully on tax debts before and i'd bet it's much the same everywhere except for the exact wording in non-english jurisdictions

they sent me a letter after writing the debt off trying to intimidate me but after a while it was clear they were no longer basing their new version of the bill on the original and thus it was void and they can't go back on a valid set-off - yes, it's properly called a "set off" and it's part of what they do when a company goes bankrupt, they just don't want people knowing it - doesn't matter even if millions of us do it they can't change the fact that they don't have the right to levy taxes in the first place

i would make a small point about keeping a ready balance in an off-ramp mechanism, in my case it is xapo, they custody some of my bitcoin and as i get ahead of my startup costs having migrated i'll be moving more and more of the surplus to a cold storage, i'll be checking out your writings on this

these governments are so far beyond any reasonable interpretation of their primary mandate that it's absurd, and the only rational thing to do is to refuse to play their game of unearned sin when you did nothing wrong
