Looking at it from an objective point of view, that would be an incredibly stupid move from the government.

One of the reasons Greece got fucked about 20 years ago, was because people weren't paying their taxes, because the government was practically allowing people to not pay if they didn't want to. As a result the greek economy got super fucked, super fast.

It's a great weapon by the people, but it won't work because people are selfish. It won't be used as a weapon against the government, it'll just be most people not paying taxes because their neighbor doesn't and "why should I pay, if I don't actually have to? Someone else will do it, and if they don't I'm not going to anyway".
