Listen, I know seeing your neighbor hauled off in the middle of the night for non-compliance, never to be seen again, can make even the most stalwart believer have his doubts, but where does THAT leave us NOW?
I’ll make you a deal.
If you are employed...tell your employer to take no federal deductions.
If you are self-employed...I’ll be interested to see how long not paying paying the required taxes lasts for you.
Being hauled off in “the middle of the night” could be kinder than dealing with the government in a court of law.
You give it a whirl...and let me know the outcome. :)
