I’m sure I’m not alone when I say I’ve never loved paying federal taxes. However, I never complained too much about paying because I felt it was my duty as an American citizen and at least a portion of what I paid actually was spent for the betterment of our citizens and nation.
I no longer feel that even 1 penny of my federal taxes are being spent on anything that improves or Benefits Americans. In fact, I feel that our tax dollars are purposely being used to destroy America? What am I missing here?
Exactly why people continue to pay. They WILL come after you. Lots of people have said, "Claim exempt and then file for an extension". Wonder how many of those people who have thrown out this suggestion actually do this themselves. It would have to be a true anti-taxation movement en masse for this to have a chance of working. THEY can't go after everyone, can they?
No, they would not be able to go after every one of us. Lets say 150M people refuse to pay their taxes, what is going to happen? Are they going to build tens of thousands of new jails to shove us in? Mass seizing of property or executions? Really there's not much they could do.
However, what would really happen? There wouldn't be any 150M people doing this. I bet not even 1% of people who say they're gonna stop paying taxes, actually stop paying taxes. They'll have an easy time going after every last one of us that ACTUALLY stops paying because so few will actually commit to stopping.
