6. The fact of the matter is that I work for an employer, pay taxes, do my tax forms and get a refund

And it's not that I'm in favor of not paying my taxes...What I'm trying to figure out is how we, the people, can use whatever leverage we have (as we do pay taxes) do prevent catastrophic cut-backs. Yes, I'm all for writing letters and signing petitions and all of that, but what else. Is there anything in the tax code that gives us tax payers any kind of leverage?
