65 Million Americans Should Threaten to Not Pay Taxes [because Trump]
TIME ^ | 06 December 2016 | Mark Weston

Posted on 12/07/2016 8:45:29 AM PST by Lorianne

The approximately 65 million Democrats who voted for Hillary Clinton should pledge that in the future if a Republican wins the presidency with fewer votes than a Democrat for the third time in our era, we won’t pay taxes to the federal government. No taxation without representation!

Twice in the past 16 years, a Republican candidate who finished second in the popular vote has won the presidency. This year, Donald Trump won the electoral vote with about 46% of the popular vote, while Hillary Clinton received about 48%. If the parties stay this evenly divided, another electoral mishap is more likely than not in the next 20 years.

Can you imagine if Clinton had won and a conservative writer had suggested such a thing?

The same argument can be used by the minority losers of any campaign. Silliness.

Great idea. It will keep the IRS busy for a while. Maybe once we send all the illegal aliens in our prisons back to their home countries, we can put the tax cheats there.

A good portion of that 65 million don’t pay taxes in the first place.

These people are delusional. The IRS has armed agents. They have threatened people with deadly force for not paying their taxes. But of course, the IRS, like the FBI, is solidly a Democrat-Progressive-Soros-owned entity.

Perhaps all those Democrats could also promise not to take welfare while Trump is in office?

The approximately 65 million Democrats who voted for Hillary Clinton should pledge ..... we won’t pay taxes to the federal government.

Well, that's a problem. How will we make up that $12.37?

This idiot is demanding a popular vote victory, that his side or a side he recognizes wins, or that he’ll take his ball and go home.

I’ll bet he was among those chastising Trump for not accepting election results. He’s nothing but a tantrum throwing puke with a keyboard and should be righteously ignored.

I can only guess the city benefits financially from the Feds for each illegal they host.

Make the mayors and city council personally liable for any violence caused as the result of any policy they voted on...

Withhold Federal funding to these cities.

Haul the mayors to jail for a mandatory 12 months on first offense. 10 years afterwards.

That little thing called withholdings undermines that plan.

If I don’t get what I want, why I’ll stop drinking Starbucks coffee! Oh wait..... I don’t drink coffee.

Rats are life’s losers in every sense of the meaning of the word loser.

Fooking stupid article.

Just how many of the 65 million people actually pay Federal Taxes?

Of those who receive credit for Head of Household, Earned Income Tax and various deductions, resulting in a net effect of no Federal Tax paid, should they not receive the deductions and rebates?

The treasury might even save some money on EIC.

This idiot claims “no taxation without representation” when Democrats are represented in Congress, the branch that has the authority to lay and collect taxes.

Dead people don’t pay taxes. They just vote and draw social security.

Yeah, that’ll work. The government can take whatever the hell they want so good luck with that.
In addition, just make filing taxes a pre-requisite for obtaining welfare, EBT, social assistance, etc.

Proposing breaking the law and giving details of how to do it. Do you think the FBI will be investigating this time writer?
