We should all unite to REFUSE to pay Federal taxes; that now only support the Putin/Trump/Musk Corporate Fascists' global criminal cabal. We no longer have a representative Democratic Republic, but a Russian style, Putin allied, anti-truth, anti-democratic, anti-American lawless RU satellite state.
YES!!! I’ve been pushing the #TaxBoycott2025 for a couple weeks. I know I ain’t paying shit. I’m not filing a return. I’m not contributing to this farcical, illegitimate government nor will I help finance fascism.
American Resisters to the Putin/Trump/Musk/GOP/Project 2025 FAUX"CHRISTIAN" Nationalists who've just stolen our nation for their power-mongering and greed, and for that of Trump's hero/handler Vlad Putin...We NEED SOCIAL MEDIA to sow Truth. Musk's X, META, Trump's Big Lie-Social, Fox/RW media=LIES.
I beg to differ. Firing all those IRS employees means that the ONLY people the IRS will go after will be the small fish. Our taxes aren’t nearly as complicated and resource-using as the billionaires and much cheaper to investigate.
Action takes courage and has risk. Americans are generally softer than Chinchilla fur. Except of course, the Proud Boys, 3%ers, Oath Keepers and other far right militias.
I have not filed taxes in 40 years. Filing is a violation of the 5th Amendment. When they send a bill, I submit my adjusted return, as not paying taxes is trouble. They don't do the work if you make under 200k a year...
I could get into the payment program strategy but no space.
🤔 the fifth amendment? How?
The Fifth Amendment guarantees that no one can be deprived of "life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." Seems a bit of a leap…
Oh Michelle. Trust me it’s you they will be after. File. Pay. You are not a billionaire. You will be the example they will use for everyone else who gets this idea in their head.
Revocation of citizenship is where they will start. Deportation to GITMO
for non compilers.
This is such weird fear mongering. Typically you're just fined and given a payment plan. It isn't like Capone. And frankly when they're gutting the staff and resources it doesn't seem like a sooner rather than later situation.
Yeah, all those things were much more likely to happen and things were moving that direction for decades. This is not one of those. You have to learn some discernment bro.
They have already run out of room at Gutmo, instead of arresting and shipping off violentl illegals like promised, most of them are terrified illegals that just crossed the border.
Well now that trump
Is firing experienced IRS employees there may be little to
No taxes to pay the MFs. It will be trump chaos at this filing year. Thank dictator trump.
The Democrats in Congress, other than AOC, Jamie Raskin and Jasmine Crockett, should be receiving no compensation whatsoever for their "services". Take away their benefits too. They are as instrumental to the fascist putsch as DOGE & its Hitler Youth Hackers right now.
Sadly, part of the reason the only folks that run for office are rich is partly because they already make too little. So honest, hardworking folks can't afford to run, let alone serve, while the rich run, the sell their votes to the highest bidder to get richer. Paying them less *sounds* good tho.
Yes 🙌 thank you!! Worthless group of people I’ve ever seen! Take away their paychecks their savings their days off let’s see if they are happy about it !
Federal Workers are being laid off, when they’re the only ones in Government with a full time job. Congress is technically a part time gig, for many just a side hussle.
I think that the day cRump replaces the the secret service with the oath keepers or the proud boys as his body guards (in lovely brown or black uniforms of course) might, maybe, could, potentially alert some “unaligned” folks as to the clear and present danger.
I already paid my taxes and was due a substantial refund due to installing a high efficiency heat pump last January. Thinking I might be out the $5k I'm due. I previously trusted that I would get any extra back. No more. I will be changing my withholding rate going forward. No trust.
I would stop paying tax at all. Who is going to do tax collection, and audits anyway? Douche? No federal services, no need for federal tax. It is going to be such a chaos anyway so money in the air vents, or mattress is the way forward.
That's very true, I mean he is at the IRS now, I wouldn't be a bit surprised of that doesn't get dissolved, I know Muskovite wants to end the fed and he can't stand the US Treasury.
EXACTLY because they sure haven’t earned a paycheck from the tax payers!!! Republicans have screwed everything up in our government!!!! EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AND ONLY THEIRS!!!!
Been saying that for a long time.
Have them work for minimum wage for a month with none of their usual perks (healthcare, car service, zero spousal support, no living off of stocks or savings, etc.) let’s see how they feel about $7.25/hr. 🤨
If we all change our tax papers to exempt, no money will get collected from the paycheck, and by the time they can do anything about it the country will be broke. Is it a good idea? Probably not. Would be wild though
If 50-100 million people quietly refused to pay on April 15, it would be hard to prosecute them all. I think it would be more effective than more street protests or business boycotts.
The ones who only have their government paycheck as income. That won't hurt the ones who financially benefit greatly from other dealings. For them their government paycheck is just the cherry on top, but their real money comes from elsewhere.
All of them. None of our government officials are doing anything to earn their keep. The government is supposed to work FOR US, and these people are nowhere to be found.
Those are employees, not our representatives. Where are our Democratic leaders? Where are all those people we voted for because of their extensive knowledge of law and government regulations? Why do they get to hide while the country burns?
Hey, that's not fair. The Republican congress is working hard on tax cuts for the rich and sticking it to the poor and what's left of the middle class. You make it sound like they're not doing anything.
If Krystalnacht 2025 has taught us anything, it's that the legislative bodies might as well all go home. There's your billion of dollars of budget cuts.
A lot of em are really leftists, they just got brainwashed. But if you ask “why” enough times it’s like peeling back layers of MAGA and on the inside you have a socialist leftist
You take interactions with people telling you they're leftists but start spewing maga shit seriously? You know that Russia and China have active trolling/misinformation campaigns on U.S. social media designed to put us at each others throats, right? I get you've had bad experiences but don't buy it.
They live off of our work. Taxes are painful enough without being forced to do all the work too. Make them figure all that shit up and take what they are going to take. We know what they are. They are bullies stealing milk money, literally. No one really represents the American people.
What’s going to happen is the middle class will continue to pay taxes and get nothing return. Even many of us who don’t need government assistance can see how our tax dollars help our family members who are in need. All that will end. The money will get funneled to the top 1%.
We could lay Congress off with an email and then decide if we really needed them afterward. They couid get the taste of how America has treated our loyal government employees this week.
Democrats in the House, Senate and all the judiciary are abandoning the people of the United States to protect themselves. We are the sacrificial lambs.
I am not a lawyer, but: I understand that you can legally file, but defer payment. You can also file to stop your employer from withholding. You can place the funds in a high interest bank account that will accrue at the same rate of interest that they would charge you for deferring payment.
Do not fall for the bots suggesting that you don't pay your taxes!! Do NOT give this administration any opportunity to remove you from taking up the fight to preserve OUR Republic!!!!
I think as a Savings Plan, we just don’t pay Republicans….they aren’t doing a thing, they have relinquished all power….No work, No pay! Works both ways, no benefits, no insurance, just go home to your mansions, in you’re poor Red States…

Who's going to go after small fish like myself & others, right?
Elon isn't paying his fair share & neither are any oligarchs under FOTUS. So it will be a reverse Robinhood

A national tax protest.
Stop funding the capital and watch them crash and burn. They fresh out
Please bouncer, how do I this tax protest?
I'm glad you asked.
Submit a new W-4 to your employer and change your tax withholding to 0.
It's that easy... Unless you have cunts for employers.

They are “working” in their home districts again this week.
The constitution is effectively suspended.

We’re organizing and working on a plan that mirrors your suggestion.
There’s always something vile going on when one thing is capturing so much of the nations attention.
Mass voter suppression
Willfully ignoring laws
Doing the opposite of what the majority polls for
Attempting to overturn legally passed voter initiatives
Bait and switch campaign bullshit
IF this shit EVER goes back to normal, I’ll interact with & participate in representative taxation.
Until then, my money is ALL mine & the IRS doesn’t exist.
The RICH hate the IRS more than we do. They WILL destroy it. They’re deleting records, firing personnel, closing doors.
I didn’t vote for nor will I finance fascism.
California needs that money to fight fires, not pay Louisiana's nut.
Deport Republicans to their chosen homeland.
RUSSIA.
Put them all on a plane and let them live the life they want so much.
