This Thread is to bring together Freepers to institute a legal way to Starve the US government of our Tax Dollars. Please add any and all suggestions to this thread for legal ways to STARVE THE BEAST!
Spread the Word to your Non-Freeper Friends. Show people how to keep more of their hard earned money and get more back from Uncle Obama.
OK so here goes:
So you feel like its all hopeless. You feel the inmates are in charge of the asylum.
Yeah its bad BUT there is something we can all do. AND it benefits yourself WHILE putting it to the looters in Washington.
First understand that the engine that drives Liberalism/ Socialism is taxpayer money. Without it they can't do all the crap they wish to.
So the first thing to do is strangle the dollars going to Washington on a weekly basis.
How you ask? Its simple really. Contact your employer and change your withholding on your W-2 Forms. Claim more dependents. This takes less out of your paycheck to send to Washington. (I suggest you claim one or two more than you actually have.)
Take that extra money per pay period and put it in a local bank in a Savings or Money Market account.
If at Tax Time you then owe some back you have it in your savings and you have made money on it rather than giving Uncle Sam a tax free loan on your money.
The next thing you can do is turn a hobby or interest into a legal side business and use it for more tax deductions. (Contact your accountant on the particulars on how to legally do such)
One of the benefits of turning a hobby into a side business is you can take a holiday vacation and legally turn most of it into a tax deduction.
If paid on the mortgage or car payment principle, that’s like getting a 6% return
what is the ping list for? If it’s for reducing taxes, you can add me too

The constitution allows the states to call a constitutional convention and in this case for:
1. Ratification of an amendment repealing the 16th amendment.
2. Granting states sole responsibility for the collection of taxes from individual citizens and business except for tariffs.
3. Restrict congress from creating any law or taxes not specifically related to granted authorities as defined by the constitution.
Currently approximately 2/3 of the States are Red States. I believe a 2/3 majority is what would be required to ratify the constitution.
The 16th amendment gave birth to the Federal Government monster and the states are the ONLY entity that can possibly reign in the feds.
If it can be repealed we will have a much better chance of stopping the destruction of America. As part of the act of repeal, congress may not create any law not specifically related to its constitutionally authority.
Now is the time. The polls indicate a very low congressional approval of around 11%? Congress has overstepped its mandate considerably.
Almost half of the state legislatures are considering or have representatives preparing to introduce resolutions which reassert the principles of the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution and the idea that federal power is strictly limited to specific areas detailed in the Constitution and that all other governmental authority rests with the states.
Now is the time. Please contact your state and local representatives and ask them to please consider the above!

The beast is printing money way beyond its tax revenues. The beast must be put back in the cage, or destroyed; if we are to have an American future.
Thank you fars for the ping! Mad dawgg, really appreciate this thread. Look forward to reading the comments.
Thanks for the ping.
I plan to go to Kentucky for the machine gun shoot some time.
When I first hired on at Pacific Telephone, the district manager was a genuine horse's ass about the United Way fundraiser. His evaluation and pay raise was contingent on meeting certain goals...United Way participation included. He would call you into his office and require that you sign up for a minimum of 1% of your gross to United Way before you could leave the office. It was big time intimidation by a major league jackass.
When United Way teamed up with the gays to defund the Boy Scouts, I immediately changed my charitable giving strategy. I donate directly to the Friends of Scouting campaign each year. That bypasses United Way. Their literature contributes heat to my home.
“... It’s for those who are looking for ways to STARVE THE BEAST!...”
Oh yeah, please add me to the pinglist Jellybean!
Yes, the beast who must not be fed..
Please add me to the “Starve The Beast” pinglist, thank you!
I’ve added you to the list. :)
