I’m thinking about federal income tax.
If the federal government isn’t meeting its obligations why should we?
Specifically, I’d love to see states get the money first and hold it in trust pending litigation. I want to pay my taxes but not to a government that doesn’t respect the constitution.

This would fundamentally change the relationship between the states and the federal government of course. All states.
Now we know the need it, withholding tax can be a legitimate form of protest in this current period.
It must be organized and coordinated to ensure they can't go after individuals alone. this tax protest is absolutely what is needed.

I don’t think it’s viable for most folks anyway; most of us generally get some sort of refund, because we set the exemptions on our withholdings appropriately.
This is why liberals won’t be allies for long. Oh no my property!
Debbie downer much😂.
Sorry for the inconsideration.
most companies collect taxes through payroll?
With that being said she said that filing for an extension now is optimal. But you can do whatever 🤷♀️
I'd love to see the blue state Govs get together & discuss some of what you suggest.
This new monetary system hinges on a law clerk sifting through AI generated sludge for every transaction.
Any error results in additional payment in October.
So, that just increases the amount paid.
You can’t help much from jail, or prison, or Guantanamo Bay.

It’s also likely unconstitutional. But since much of what’s happening is already that, we might as well do it anyway.
Right, Monster Musk and Tsar Trump?
Right??
RIGHT, MOTHERF*CKERS???
Heard a future cast where California did this, refused to pay the federal government tax revenue above what they receive Back in benefits.
Legit could happen
No, we need to make a stand against tyranny.
Although, it’s most appropriate for the Trumpers to start their own country. They can take advantage of one another instead of us!
Do you have free healthcare?
Free education?
In Spain yes. We pay taxes.
Look. Nazis are gonna Nazi regardless. I’m not paying them to do it.
Why are we, the US, going to continue subsidizing Elon and the bunch of tech billionaires when they don’t pay an ounce in taxes of what a bus or truck driver, a teacher, a nurse and many other hard working people in blue states, pay?
that is allowed???
Then file extension after extension..
After all wasn’t MANGO MUSSOLINI UNDE AUDIT LIKE
FOREVER???
I enjoy LSD and speed when I drive (not at the same time) Come get me😂
I’d organize a tax strike right here if I knew how.
FWIW I’m in the later camp.
The reality: Give it to me or you're dead.
(I actually did a tax strike, they pinched me about 4 years later.)
They can come get me.
I'm changing my single status to 4 dependents so that the corrupt government won't take MY MONEY out of every paycheck.
I'M GONNA KEEP THE MONEY I'VE EARNED!
Fuck Trump and Musk.
Besides, the monies from USAID will never see the outside of a billionaire's ledger.
Time to tell
ELON and DICTATOR DONNY
WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!
Still working on that.

What i said was based on per capita, not generalized totals.
They're trying to tear down this country, they're making us fight to keep it.
I say we make them fight for everything they want, which really is only money!
But this will starve the beast.
Won’t Elon take the $$?
Maybe we should pay in 4 years.
People just do it because the government will murder you or lock you in a bad if you don't
Because that's how psychopaths roll.
Federal Taxes exist to DESTROY money. They do not pay for anything. Taxes should prevent excessive wealth accumulation, where "excessive" means enough to buy a Senator, a Supreme Court Justice, a Law, or the information the society needs to know.
Funny how that always happens.
Even without a Democracy, the corrosion appears.

But I never needed to be told that.
I moved to New Zealand in 2003.
Anticipating the rush.
Now too old to play this game.

I'd be happier about being right if I weren't such a pessimist.
That doesn't mean don't do it, but people should make that decision with their eyes wide open. It's tax fraud.
Like a kid who goads another to light a pack of firecrackers without any kind of fuse—but goads from a safe distance.
It protects the felon! Cunning lawyers can do that!
Face it he even owns SCOTUS!!
And the house!
And the senate!
Only physical acts will stop him.

As someone helpfully pointed out, our income tax dollars go straight to the feds, not to the states first. Changing that would be technically hard and would come with obvious pushback.
Our governor got 35 dollar insulin in our state, regardless of the feds.
I would love to see the scientists come here.
There is no doubt we will
Innovate to take care of each other.
It isn’t illegal as long as we are withholding taxes to save our country. 😏
But… if we all did that…. Haven’t been there.
