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

So… you think that: a) you can’t change the way government spends money, but b) you can change the way government receives money?
That’s an interesting world view.

Don’t give the government money at all.

Get off the internet, it was started because of government funding. Don’t drive on roads, government funding. Don’t use gas or a car, or helmets or drink water, or take any medicine. You can’t wear clothes you didn’t make yourself, don’t live in a house that was built to code. Forget gfic outlets. Electronics that meet safety regs? Get rid of them. You better not have an up to date Electrical box either. Food safety? More government overreach funded by taxes. Those wastages.
