I see the tax honesty question as similar to a puzzle. Each piece of the puzzle is a partial answer to the question. One must put the whole puzzle together to have an answer to the question, "What to do?"
Permaculture is a piece of that puzzle. Learning to live simply and sustainably, creating an alternative local economy, and caring for the earth so that it continues to yield her fruit in due season, are part of the overall solution to abating tyranny.
Setting up free churches founded politically on the Law taught by Christ while organizing production and agriculture in harmony with Permaculture, then networking all these local congregations, is a start. Then people will have places of refuge and tables to eat at when the whole mammon system crashes under its own corruption.
One can spend energy in resisting evil ("resist not evil") or one can direct that energy to building up an infrastructure that can grow and outmode, or obsolete, the current mammon system. Resisting evil just gives it something to mobilize against. Building up and alternative opens the gate to the Kingdom of Heaven.
