You all know this, but damnit it pisses me off more now than ever.
The language used to discuss how TAXPAYER money is spent.
The Fckn government doesn’t have one cent.

They fund ZERO.
The pay for NOTHING.

You do. I do.
The taxpayers of this country provide the funds the government routinely frames as its own.

I really believe many of the problems in this country could be solved in one move.

Get rid of automatic deductions and everyone hand over bags of cash to the taxman once a year.

People need to see it.
Feel it.
Watch it leave.
Come up short and bring back the debtors prison.

Would wake some people up to the realities of this “government spending”.

I love this idea. It would certainly open a lot of eyes.

You are correct and it's sad people don't truly understand this.
WE have the power. There are more of us than them. We just need to understand this and behave like it

Our founding fathers revolted over far less in tax hikes.

People don’t seem to care that their money is being sent to foreign citizens in foreign lands. They’ve been conditioned to accept it, even at the risk to the value of our own currency. Robots

They have armed agents to collect if you don't pay.

I believe the Global Elites used the Covid-19 pandemic as a measuring tool for mass compliance in the global population. It's amazing how many people were listening to the Gaslight Media and government health experts and they questioned nothing, they took the experimental MRNA Jab, they defended the jab mandate, they wore the masks that did little to protect or stop the spread, they practiced social distancing......thinking back on the whole Covid-19 hysteria, it was jaw drooping and eye opening how the majority of people just went along with the insanity.

This same exercise will be how they eventually execute a gun control and confiscation plan.

And it will work because people will do what they’re told.

Declare “gun violence” a national “emergency”.
Issue a mandate that all weapons of a certain caliber must be turned in or you can no longer go to school or work.
Yes they know what you have. They know this in a variety of ways.

Wives will threaten husbands that if they don’t comply, they will leave with the kids because well we need income and education and comfort and safety.

Men will comply with their wives.

Yeah yeah yeah, say they won’t. Uh huh.
Look who took that bullsht shot and why they took it.

While I agree with your point…tax evasion is already punishable by fines and/or prison time.

I used to have it taken out of my check, I know pay quarterly. If everyone had to save and pay quarterly, there would be a revolution.

I’d also push to have Election Day on the third Tuesday in April so that it’s on/right after Tax Day.

No you don’t.

Very few people would have what they owe left over. It would cause problems. Do you let people just not pay? Charge them more? Throw millions in jail?


Just do away with income tax. The poorest don’t have income. The wealthiest don’t have to have a high salary to take from.

The rest of us get fricked.


Just a note because I used to see these free tax prep places around. These people are going there for their refund. None of these people are going to those places to see how much they owe.

So, none of those folks will have the money to pay their taxes.

My my, well that would certainly be an issue wouldnt it…hmmmmmm

Oh well.

Either the government would go without or they’d seek enforcement.
Let the outcome be the outcome.


The point of my post is that too many people are political zombies and don’t even realize nor care how corrupt all this is. People need a wake up call.
I presented one way to achieve that wake up call.
Practical or not - people need to experience pain to change things.

Every time I drive by one of those "EZ Wireless" tents with the banner that says "FREE GOVERNMENT PHONE" it boils my blood.

Getting rid of automatic deductions would shut down every business within a year. While I understand the reason for your post having complete shutdowns would not fix. Short term stop all obvious waste of money such as giving away money to other nations including indirectly like NGO’s. I’d rather use that money for expelling illegal aliens, building many prisons to house cities that are full of real criminals. Hell put a school to educate them along with a functional training system for carpentry, boilermakers and more. Those who don’t look to better themselves immediately get 3 hits and a cot nothing more. Long term have term limits, zero lobbying, politicians that serve the people not themselves including little to no pay except reimbursement for reasonable expenses. Consumption tax, real infrastructure construction ( cronyism is dealt with here harshly) bs litigation is stopped for starters
