Yep, Claim 50 Deductions are your W-2.
When the taxes stop flowing, the Government starts listening.
It’s my recollection that you can claim 11 or so without a look see from the IRS. Check with your tax preparer. Or do 50 and suck it up.
You people aren’t being very creative.
Whatever we do has to be viral inasmuch as the deed will be seen and will influence countless thousands of others and will destroy the beast through ridicule.
That is why utilizing the currency to spread the message is so brilliant.
I wonder what else along these lines could be done?
In my case, I am constantly thinking of ways to earn as little taxable income as possible and spend as little money as possible. I put as much under the radar as possible, but legally.
This can be through barter, craigslist, ebay, etc.
Grow your own vegetables and sell the surplus to your neighbors (no money spent at the market). Bicycle commute. Telecommute when possible. Buy as much as possible used from private parties - craigslist, garage sales, etc. Pay off all your debt and “horde” your actual earned (and taxed) money. Stuff like that.
I also ignore traffic laws when it is clearly safe to do so (and there are no cops around).
When one person does this it is pretty meaningles. When a lot do, it has an impact.
That’s W4, but you have the right idea.
I’m claiming based on my refund, such that I’ll end up paying next April. That’s much better than giving them an interest free loan.
Danae - I do think that is the answer. I really do. Or just not send the damn thing in. I guess a lot of people have taxes taken out already so they need to send it in to get their money back. Mass tax subversion. If millions do it there is no way they can do anything.
And tell 'em your name is "Sanchez;"
that works for the wetbacks...
I wouldn't recommend that. Your employer is required to notify the IRS when an employee claims 10 (or more) exemptions.
Careful - there are penalties if you underpay your taxes through the year by too large an amount.
“Yep, Claim 50 Deductions are your W-2.”
That’s a start, then come 4-15 we could send them IOUs pleading for bailout.
However, I much prefer Ron Paul’s approach to federal income tax.
RP: “When I say cut taxes, I don’t mean fiddle with the code. I mean abolish the income tax and the IRS, and replace them with nothing.”
Abolishing the fed income tax would restore our liberty and return the fed to it’s Constitutional limits. ‘OMG what a friggin nightmare.’
