re: Now that the government is shut down do we still pay taxes?

Funniest part is nothing really shuts down beyond national parks.

Um, that's a big negative. Plenty of stuff shuts down, probably close to half of everything.

If it were up to me it could just stay shut down.

You must not like getting local highways and bridges built. Most of them depend heavily on federal grants.

Servicemen won't get paid but still have to show up. That's pretty shitty

You are wrong. Armed forces personnel still get paid.

Almost all of the national parks are still open.

Many Federal offices still open. Only non essential services closed. can't tell you what closed, but not that many, other than a few contracted services. Most federal employees will continue to get their full pay.

This is politics. Don't believe everything you read on the internet or see on TV. Much fake news out there.
