Why not? Why should small business and non-oligarchs foot the bill for nothing? We’re not expected to be ethical anymore and we’re weak if we are. We’re fucked.
And, dang it!, the IRS, under Trump, won't be able to collect taxes from any of those billionaire oligarchs who are now operating our government? Who could have foreseen that?
Can I not pay my taxes? It’s less than a drop in the bucket to them but a huge burden to me. I mean if rich people aren’t audited anymore and tax breaks for the wealthy, lemme just skip this year, too. ‘k, thanks!
The greatest theft in the history of mankind is before us! People in Wisconsin we need to meet at every Uline office building every Uline factory and protest these people! Wisconsin workers created the wealth for this family! to reward Wisconsin workers they’re taking our children’s futures away
I will not be making that choice, but I can see why people feel that way. How sad that the rule of law has become so disrespected by the nation’s top leader that it makes other citizens also feel above the law. It makes me sad for our nation.
With Dogebags' lack of business acumen on full display, what do you expect? Laying off IRS employees during tax season,what brilliance. The lunacy of Congress allowing a man with no concept of how government actually works to have complete oversight of its destruction is madness, not efficiency.
The government doesn’t need the money.
Most everyone’s been fired and departments closed down.
Isn’t that the point of the efficiency bulldozer—save American taxpayers money?
(Hey Tr-mp voter—isn’t that what you were t(s)old?)

This is concerning. I hope the IRS gets the resources it needs to ensure everyone, especially the wealthiest, pays their fair share so we can fund essential programs. What measures do you think could be most effective in addressing this?
OH, I THOUGHT I MAILED THAT APRIL 15TH. THE DOG ATE MY TAX FORM LOL. The excuses are endless. THE ENFORCEMENT WILL BE... THE LEAST... IN THE HISTORY OF THE USA. EVERY MOBSTER AND WANNABE WILL TRYING TO SCAM UNCLE SAM! (encouraged by gRUMPY II and MYSHY).
I HOPE PEOPLE WAKE UP AND APPLY ...ECONMIC PRESSURE...BY NOT FILING AN INCOME TAX FORM..THIS YEAR AND NEXT YEAR..THERE WILL BE SO MUCH CHAOS GOING ON FOR THE NEXT 12 MONTHS, IT WILL TAKE A YEAR TO RING A BELL...OH, I FILED MY TAX FORM. YOU DIDN'T RECEIVE IT IN THE MAIL?
Who could blame folks?! We pay taxes to help the Gov't run the Country NOT for a grotesquely greedy, power hungry DEMENTED OLD MF'er to fill his own pockets & RUIN the Country.
I filed mine in mid February and they apparently lost it, so I'm probably going to have to mail a copy. The rich people aren't hurting its us little people that keep voting for assholes like Trump
I’m ok with tax dollars going to give kids in Rwanda books, I want veterans to have mental health care, I want the CDC to track diseases and I want food safety. But if these things aren’t happening, if these things are getting shut down, where is my tax money going?
You are asking way to much of the new WaPo, they are trump and musks cheer leaders, or as some might say… bezos is just their bich. Don’t expect anything too critical from these cowards.
I hear you but I can't totally write them off during these resistance days; some of their finest journalists are still getting critical scoops. The movement must be as broad as possible; no we won't all like each other! We need that White House news asap with that deeper investigative reporting.

It’s like a drunken merry-go-round ride!
A $1 spent on auditing the top 1% returns $13.
A $1 spent on auditing the top 0.1% returns $24.
Gutting the IRS is an open call to lie on your taxes.
We know what kind of bastards and businesses will 'skip' paying their taxes.
Fucking just say it.

Idiots running the country.
“The outlet claims, citing costs from a 2019 Government Accountability Office report, that the president’s apparent insistence on spending his weekends (six out of seven so far) in Florida has now cost American taxpayers in excess of $18 million”

Trump told U.S. what he'd do if elected. Our checks & balances and the American people's commitment to U.S. Democracy are being put to the test

Stats: 20,000 IRS people fired so far, Dept heads still resigning in protest.
Projected lost revenue due to GOP/DOGE: "That would amount to more than $500 billion in lost federal revenue."
