It's one possible wake-up call. I'd also like to see it dawn on more people that income taxes are only one way that the government takes our money. It's astounding to me that we pay taxes on goods we're buying using money that was already taxed. And the people who made the goods were also taxed on them, as well as the people who sell the goods, as well as the people who provide the building where the goods are sold. And then, if we try to sell the thing we bought, the government will tax us and the buyer yet again. There's like 50 taxes on one sandwich. It's absurd. I simply can't imagine how much better off everyone would be if even half of these taxes were eliminated or reduced.
