Because they will take all of our money and put us in jail if we don’t

That’s the threat, and they can seize assets to cover what you “owe.” It’s very scary.

But I also hear that the IRS is getting reduced staff, or even replaced with an ERS (lol). Point being, if everyone stopped paying federal taxes, there potentially isn��t going to be anyone left to come collecting.

But it’s still scary, and what I think I’m going to do is change my withholding to minimize what the fed takes from each paycheck, but bank it so in the event I decide it’s something worth paying, I have what I owe at the ready.

But if this administration continues to break laws and ignore congress, I’m not on the legal hook to pay into illegal actions, and I’ll take it to court on their dime.
