The best thing that could happen to this country is for NO ONE to pay federal income tax ~ not ever.

It's a failed government program. Time to abolish it first ~ then work our way through the parts that pass out goodies and eliminate the spending.

Demanding enhancements to the federal income tax, or accusing people subject to it ~ or not ~ of not being good Americans is, to say the least, NOT A CONSERVATIVE PROGRAM!

and it never was about revenue

“A hand from Washington will be stretched out and placed upon every man's business; the eye of the Federal inspector will be in every man's counting house . . . The law will of necessity have inquisitorial features, it will provide penalties, it will create complicated machinery. Under it men will be hailed into courts distant from their homes. Heavy fines imposed by distant and unfamiliar tribunals will constantly menace the tax payer. An army of Federal inspectors, spies and detectives will descend upon the state . . . Who of us who have had knowledge of the doings of the Federal officials in the Internal Revenue service can be blind to what will follow?”

Virginia House Speaker Richard E. Byrd, 1910, predicting what would happen if a federal income tax became law.
