Flip back through the pages of history: during the few hundred years that the Roman Empire was collapsing, the tax collectors became so violent and generally oderous that in some cases Romans living on the geographic fringes of the Empire welcomed invaders because a change of government looked good to them.

I expect the same to happen in the USA. Local governments and the federal government need money to operate on. In the best case scenario, two things would happen: drastically reducing government spending on the military and not-so-essential social services, and, slightly raising taxes. Neither of these reasonable things will get done.
