DOGE decimated the IRS, sure…but that just means they probably hastily automated a shit-ton of staff, so now next April when shit hits the fan they’ll have automated fines and arrest warrants for whoever they want, combined with no recourse and an overfunded private gestapo ready to come and take you in the night.
Aside from that, wage-slaves like the majority of us in the 99%, our income taxes are a small bit of government income.
You wanna punch them hard? Don’t stop working. Hell earn as much as you can. But stop consuming. Stop spending. Buy as little as you need to survive. Buy used whenever you can.
The “velocity of money” (how quickly and frequently it changes hands) is like one of the biggest indicators of a healthy economy, and nearly every time it moves, the government gets a cut. Every widget you own, every food in the fridge, came from dozens, if not thousands of little money movements. Stop them.
You would think a universal boycott would have more lower/middle-class support than a universal strike. Hell, if we all agree to stop trying to keep up with the Jones’, it’d have a very long lasting effect.
That’s overdramatic and wrong, worst that will happen is you will owe fees, heck not paying taxes almost makes you an honorary Republican.
The problem is that you have to set up a way to shuffle your pay through something else so that it’s not directly reported. That takes money or time and knowledge. Not something most people are going to do.
I remember reading a lot of that in 2024. Chucklefuck-in-chief ended up proving most of us right.
I would not doubt for a second he’d be taking tax dodgers and throwing them in the camps. Maybe even make some of them kapos. There’s precedent and he’s already following pretty much the same playbook.
The only part that’s overdramatic is that he’d go through the trouble of filing an arrest warrant. He’s already shown no disregard for shipping off citizens, including children, for the crime of being a couple of shades too dark, and thus, in his words, “poisoning the blood of our country”. Without any due process. So basically anyone is a criminal on his say-so. Already.
Sure. You first.

Sure, but they don’t need a reason as we have already seen.
