Very simple solution. Take the money these people don’t pay out of the handouts they support. NPR, PBS, Planned Parenthood etc.

How does this joker plan on not paying his taxes unless he is self employed?He probably has a refund due like most people.

I think the amount is something like a thousand bucks for withholding, and the penalties kick in.

You can adjust your withholding so that you OWE money to the IRS, but it had better not be much more than a thousand bucks.

Or you get a letter.

Oh well, it will be one less bit of resource that the IRS might be using to look at my filings.

That's true. One less MANUAL bit of resource.

Their junk computer programs will still be flagging people, though.

I'm 4-0 against their junk software, and I called them out on it last time. 😀

Seems to me the best way for him to avoid paying taxes is to get the hell out of our country.

The U.S. government will prosecute crimes involving money with more vigor and focus than they exert when chasing down murderers. You can take that to the bank (pun intended).

Do we get to do that too when we don’t like the President? Gee the taxes I could have saved during 8 years of Obama!

“They are just running their frigging mouths.”

Precisely. Like “I’ll move to Canada!” it’s just junior saying he will hold his breath until he turns blue.
Half the country is about 9 years old. The bad half.

Conservatives paid their taxes the last 8 years when Barry was using the money to arm our enemies and to fill the DNC coffers.

I still want to see what happens when tax protestors get their first “sanctuary city”.

Actually, they should modify the system such that the money is withheld by the employer per a table, or perhaps a flat tax, whatever. And that’s the end of it. No April 15 madness. No deductions other than those listed on the W-4.

Businesses are already withholding the tax anyway. The ordinary salaried citizen should have no contact with IRS ever. A simplified tax code would require your number of dependents, and done. If there are two wage earners? Who cares. Number of dependents and done. Never address the issue again ever unless the number of dependents changes.

Only if you are in business should you have any dealings with IRS.

So, that ass hat wants to live in this country, enjoy all the “benny’s” but let someone else pay for his privileges. Deport him just like the illegals. Start with people like Sharpton, etal.......

At some point those who refuse to pay taxes will be given a choice to pay or do prison time for the felony and get their assets confiscated.

Even Al Capone couldn’t beat the tax man.

Haaahaahaaa...yep. Worked in administration for a company years ago and we got an order for garnishment of one of the employees paychecks. Called him in the office to inform him and he said he got tired of hearing about all his friends getting money back because they had kids. He was single and didn’t have any so he made some up and filed taxes. He got a bunch of money back and then the government got a bunch of money back by garnishing his paycheck every month.

Well, I'd like to know, ...

These "protestors," these OFA oafs are PAID to protest, right?

There are large organizations to manage, organize and direct the "protestors."

Here is my question:

Are those (OFA) organizations WITHHOLDING and paying the appropriate Federal, State and local taxes for their "employees," the protestors?

Are those (OFA) organizations withholding FICA, Medicare and other social taxes for their "employees?"

Are those (OFA) organizations keeping accurate records of employees, hours, expenses?

Are those (OFA) organizations actually making the required payroll deposits to Federal Deposit banks?

And finally, are those (OFA) organizations paying the required Obamacare mandates for over fifty employees?

Are they subject to IRS audits, like any other organization?

This is a real threat to the Republic if the rule of law is not vigorously upheld here.

Start prosecuting and incarcerating the high-profile cases, like Sharpton. That'll take the wind out of their sails.

Yeah, go ahead. Change your exemptions on your W-4 so the minimum taxes are taken out of your check. And while you’re at it, I hope you enjoy that whopping tax bill that you’re going to have due next April.....
