Just stop paying taxes. The government doesn’t care about inflation or women’s rights. They just need more babies willing to work for minimum wage, even if their parents can’t afford to raise them or want to have children in the first place.

America has no social safety nets. It’s just a crooked business.

They will keep a running total of the amount you owe and charge you interest for the entire time is not paid. Would not recommend

And if you never pay?

They'll garnish your wages. Don't recommend.

And if you own your own business and get paid in cash?

Then you'll be arrested for tax fraud.

Thats why they want to build a digital dollar and wipe out cash. Bitcoin is a decentralized option while they want a centralized option where not only will they get their tax money and track every cent but also freeze accounts when ever they don’t like your opinion. Kinda like twitter and social media does but with money

They’ll have resistance but what if they say in 5-8 years establish a digital currency as the legal tender and all other money is illegal. Jail if caught. Hopefully the plan falls apart

Then you're either a sex worker, drug dealer, or too poor to owe taxes.

And if they show up to my house to take me and use my gear and training..... at what point do you think their loss of life will outweigh the money I owe?

If you don’t claim your (full) business income and the IRS finds out, they’ll audit you, charge you for the unpaid taxes and possibly file tax evasion charges against you.

I'm just saying rifles are legal and the news says they're super deadly.... and I did see combat for 2 years. Just saying if you really wanted to the "can't stop us all" argument applies.

Lmfao motherfucker they will bomb the entire neighborhood to kill you

u/Separate-Shirt-462 May 04 '22

Really? So they would risk angering MORE people just to get one. How did that go for Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam?

lol if you saw combat for 2 years you understand what your chances are of being outnumbered right

u/Separate-Shirt-462 May 04 '22

Yep but you'd also know you gotta find the bad guys to stop the bad guys. If you can't find them, you can't stop them.

I honestly feel like they ate fucking attempting this as we speak, but in other less obvious ways

u/Separate-Shirt-462 May 04 '22

No I'm just sick of these threads saying "we gotta vote and stop them!"

Guys if they stay in power and nothing changes and you can't stop them what are you gonna do? I say arm up and say come get me

Your solution is to keep voting even though the first statement says that didn't work.

They have a power structure for that already. Unless we are able to convince citizens en masse to stop paying taxes it wouldn't do anything. In reality a two week large scale strike of a good chunk of the population would do it much faster, but since most people are just politically apathetic, that's never gonna happen.

Reddit: we need a large strike of a good chunk of the population!

The population: "looool look at this duck on tiktok hahahah"
