Resistance: Democrats Plan to Withhold Federal Taxes to Protest Trump

Some Democrats prepare to withhold paying federal taxes in potentially the biggest tax boycott since the Vietnam War, according to a report from The Guardian. The National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee (NWTRCC), which campaigns for federal tax boycotts, says there has “renewed interest in war tax resistance following Trump’s inauguration,” with the website’s traffic doubling in the past month.

“Something has clicked in the minds of thousands of people across the country… we don’t want to pay for Trump’s agenda! While many of the reasons people are fed up—extreme militarism, mass incarceration, police brutality, and mass deportations—are part of the foundation of our country, it is exciting to see many new people contacting NWTRCC and wanting to organize in their communities,” the website reads.

Outside of government employees, what Democrats pay taxes?

If government employees don’t pay taxes, Trump gets to fire them and reduce the size of government.

Win win!

Cool, you dumb-asses...

Make sure you sign online petitions, and post your intentions all over your twitter & Facebook pages!

Dumb-asses, but then, I repeat myself...

You certainly do repeat yourself. Rightfully so.

The Fed and the many agencies with career leeches is simply white collar welfare. A fine tuned program that rewards sloth and graft.

Step one: send all lobbyists packing, all 35,000+ of them.

Step two: clear out all agencies that have tenured hangers-on.

Step three: give the taxpayers the relief they deserve for supporting this white collar welfare program since the NEW DEAL and ‘EFFIN FDR!

Step four hang Obama for treason!

One woman said she has been doing this for years and she has only received letters from the IRS telling her she owes back taxes. Amazing.

And at some point, the IRS will cease the letter campaign and the fines and fees will kick in - and then we will hear about how this poor bitch is so abused. Make no mistake, she will cry and play the victim. The IRS has heard this tale thousands of times and has NO patience for it. Their reputation as relentless and unmerciful persuit of taxes is well documented.

unless you file. Just because your employer or hers reports wages to IRS doesn’t mean taxes are owed.

Where do you get your "facts"? Your W-2 tells the IRS what each employer paid you in Salary, and what (if any) taxes were withheld. They also get statements from your bank, as your bank files, your 401K and Roth accounts as these people also file. If you were unemployed the State reports your Welfare earnings, and if you made significant earnings or filled contracts; those companies reported those expenses in your company's name. They know a HELL of a lot about you, the value of your home, cars and property. Welcome to "The Information Age".

Do they think that the IRS gives a rip about why they didn’t pay their taxes? If they do then they are sadly mistaken. And when their assets get seized and they get hauled off to jail there will be no TV cameras or News reports to memorialize their ‘sacrifice’.

Democrats work and owe taxes.

Hey - is Koskinen still in charge? Isn’t he going to be replaced? If not, there’s nothing to worry about. We can all claim to be progressives and not file our taxes...

Boy! Do I ever hear you. I am out of patience AND tolerance. I cannot convince my husband to stop watching the news - he doesn’t hear well so he makes hash of what they say anyway - why bother?

From your profile - “”Grandma Rose made the BEST Naples meatballs ever””. Care to share her recipe???

Come on - we all need something to brighten our days....

And then the Federal Government puts a lien on there home, cars, other valuable possessions.>>> It’s actaully a fake
26 U.S. Code § 6331 - Levy and distraint. Which takes property without due process. Fear by those who obey the notice from the IRS is the only due process. and ignorance is their ally.

That woman was undoubtedly lying thinking she’d make a good point....gotta be a progressive.

And if all you say is true - why is there such an outstanding amount of money due in delinquent taxes from just federal government employees? This is just from 2014 that I could find in a hurry....

And the mere fact that the IRS knows, is an example of what I said. The IRS knows, and at first they attempt to work “with” people in “good faith”. Just like a bank will do. But if they break the “good faith”, the gloves come off

Everybody knows that the “democrats” don’t pay taxes anyway. This isn’t news.

What taxes? The rich Democrats don’t pay taxes. The freebies of poor Democrats are not taxable.

Go right ahead, leftists, don’t pay your withholding taxes. The end result will be penalties for underpayment of estimated taxes. You will not only end up paying the base amount of taxes, but the penalties involved will help you even further fund the so-called Trump agenda. Oh, and if you get the bright idea to not pay your taxes at all, then welcome to assets seizures and jail. Have fun!

Knowing dimocrats, the people deciding not to pay their taxes, were not paying taxes to begin with.

But wouldn’t it appear that “good faith” has been broken and those delinquent taxes are still delinquent and probably growing every year with thousands or tens of thousands of new employees added every year to the delinquent list? It does matter- WHAT has been done about it? Why does Koskinen still have a job?
