  Find your masters. Find their children. Vote for every last one.

  Then stop paying fed taxes.

    Taxes are taken out of your checks before you are even paid. This isn’t practical.

    I do have to wonder if everyone stopped paying federal taxes how that would fix over Trump. Like, would he admit he’s powerless against the numerous? Would he just lie and pretend the money is there? Would he just not pay the bills like he has historically done?

    It’s fun to imagine what he would do facing adversity.

      taxes are

      Get paid under the table.

      would he just pretend

      Yes. Obviously. Money’s fake anyway. But that would heighten a looooot if contradictions and fracture a lot of coalitions on the right.

    Most free tax services have a income ceiling and the free service is being subsidized by the government. So we are paying our tax money for it, it’s never free. I made decent money so I won’t get the subsidize free service most likely. It’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s just that it’s complete bullshit that they spent the tax money creating a great free tax service and their shelving it to prop up fucking private corporations further. I’m so sick of Trump‘s bullshit. I hate him and these fucktard conservatives so fucking much.

    Except why do private companies handle taxes at all. That’s not their business and the government should be able to handle it all themselves. Rake your smugness and shove it.

        Why are you so upset about the USPS? We have private companies that do what it does better.

        If you can’t see the problem with the above statement you need to swallow your tongue.

    “not forced to use them”

    This ignores obnoxious hurdles in place to make the free tier as shitty as possible so people buy.

    “cover your own ass for mistakes” Well can you personally guarantee that these asshats won’t create traps and gotcha’s along the way?

    Depends on specifics. I haven’t been able to use the free tier for years. These companies collect all kinds of data from its users too.

  Well, if you don’t have a complicated tax return, meaning you only have a 9-5 job and no other income streams. You can file it yourself.

    Normally I would be easy, but I’m dealing with the federal tax credit for Solar. Getting it in under the wire before Trump‘s dumbass cancels the program. Just gonna go with a local tax professional. Could’ve done it myself with the free site probably but if I’m gonna spend money, I’d rather go with a local person than giving money to these fucking websites who’s lobbyists got the IRS website taken down in the first place.
