I had the thought of, what happens if millions of Americans just stopped paying taxes as a form of protest? I can’t imagine the IRS could actually handle it.

    Well they should. Taxes are a fee for government services and the people currently aren’t getting all of those services. If your utilities are shut down for a month, you don’t pay. If your government is shut down for over a month, you shouldn’t have to pay.

        Especially, when my last check was $2200 and only took home about $1700 and “cash tips shouldn’t be taxed”?!?! But here I am getting taxed so much while these fucks don’t pay taxes, cut our programs, and stop benefits due to this shutdown.

        We threw tea into the ocean for less so why are we not OUTRAGED?!?!
