Money is the energy that both keeps the illegitimate operation going, and psychologically weds its victims to it. Without funding, most of TSA (etc) isn't going to show up to "work". Without funding, agencies that exist solely to perpetuate can no longer sustain themselves. Without funding, USG can't force it's myriad of extra-constitutional regulations upon the states. Furthermore, coming to terms with your taxes being nothing but an utter waste of your life lets one move on and condemn the entire system, rather than blaming this week's bad management (that whole fallacious gripe about 'taxpayer dollars' that conservatives are so hung up on).
Not paying taxes has other unfortunate side effects.
The real way to fix is to make sure you, the voting public, is more informed, and stop voting in parties that have vested interest. Use the democracy your forefathers died to get you properly. I hear 1/4 of the people in the US don't even vote!
USG is so powerful that it peacefully usurps other 'democratic' governments, and you honestly think that it doesn't have its position cemented at home? Elected officials are merely faces that give the gullible populace new scapegoats to blame. Just because elections can shift some priorities, don't optimistically extrapolate and think they're capable of changing the entrenched powers.
