Depends on the attack you're pulling off. A 51% attack won't allow you to change the coin generation rate (what peteretep was talking about).

Uncle Sam wakes up tomorrow and says:
"Compliance measures on crypto-currency are expensive. We'll be charging a 3% compliance tax on all crypto-currency holdings, and we'll do this via any US-registered crypto-brokers charging a withholding tax unless you can prove it's double-taxation; also any failure to pay this is tax evasion and will be prosecuted as such"
you'll see some hard forks. Also this is a _great_ idea as it increases tax revenue, increases investment in US bonds and stocks, _and_ it suddenly swells the value of US Govt gold reserves.
