Comment on IRS braces for $500bn drop in revenue as taxpayers skip filings in wake of DOGE cuts

The government is going to spend whatever it wants. They will get the money by printing it if they can’t get it from tax. This causes rampant inflation, which is the same as a flat tax.
By not paying your share of taxes, you’re simply stealing from your neighbors.

Don’t use a money they can print. Use gold.

Oh my. Really, go open a history book. Look at what the gold standard did to limit our economy. Look up why Fort Knox existed at that time. Look how big it would have to be today, and understand there isn’t that much gold in the entire world.

There is enough gold in the world for everybody to have an equal amount. You can divide gold down to one one thousandth of an ounce of gold with current technology, which is plenty small enough to work with.
