They could do so in regardes to state taxes, not federal.

And NEVER forget, and most people don't know, prior to WWII there was no withholding. It was instituted because the government needed a constant stream of revenue to pay for the war. Withholding was suppose to end when the war ended. As we know, it didnt.

And neither did the tax on your phone instituted to help pay for the Spanish-American war. Were still paying it over 100 years later. I havent heard any reports from the front lately, I sure hope our boys are kicking some Spanish ass and come home soon.

Shouldn't we gladly pay excesive taxes so that our government can spend more and more money on ridiculous vote-getting compassionate programs?

LOL, nor will you.

I think he's on to something, if ten million people that filed last year fail to file this year, what can the Feds do? They can't jail everyone, and it will take them one hell of a long time to do the threatening mailings etc.If it delays payment by three months it will be worthwhile.

I can choose the amount of my witholding, and I'm thinking of choosing zero.
