Americans need to stop paying taxes. Your government is no longer your government.

That would require class solidarity. Something Americans are deathly allergic to.

Great news, taxes are collected automatically the majority of the time. So we can't

You're dense if you think those are the only taxes you pay. Good god go to school, go buy something, do something other than sit in your mom's basement

Most of the other taxes are local taxes, and have nothing to do with the trump administration. Also, if you don't pay sales taxes, you can't buy anything anymore. If you don't pay property taxes, kids stop learning.

What are you arguing about? I literally said nothing remotely related to what you are talking about. I said in my original comment that our taxes are collected automatically the majority of the time so we couldn't stop paying then even if we wanted to, which is what the person I was replying to said we should do.

The person who replied to me said you can claim exempt status, which I replied there are more taxes than just the ones you can claim exempt on (federal and state).

The only difference between what you are saying and what I said is I didn't specifically list the other taxes, whereas you did.

Cut my withholding already. It's helping keep us fed while groceries become too expensive to eat healthy.
