    Honestly, if millions of people banded together and just refused to pay the loans outright, and went on strike from them, it could cripple the money lenders

    All the people here screaming “but they will garnish your wages!!” keep forgetting that it only works that way if there are a few people at a time who can’t pay. The whole thing falls apart if enough people refuse to pay.

      Most people aren’t capable of paying it back anyway so the IRS is going to be too overloaded regardless.
