I've never understood the reasoning behind this standpoint.
What does it matter if it's possible for them to all get arrested or not? I get the impression people think the IRS would be so overwhelmed they'd just give up and not arrest anyone for not paying taxes.
Or do they think that while the IRS would arrest some people, the odds would be in their favor and they would get skipped?
Personally, I think the IRS would just hire more and more people to pick up the slack and they have 10 years to get to them before the statute of limitations expires.
Even worse, I think they would focus their efforts on the ones they could get the most money out of for the least amount of effort. Rich people can afford to have great lawyers who will use every loophole possible and drag the case on forever. Poor people don't have enough money to make it worth their effort.
So who does that leave? The middle class. Those who make a decent amount of money, but can't afford the shark lawyers to save them.
Please know that I'm not trying to start a fight with you over this. I'm not saying you're wrong on anything. You just happened to be the one to comment on it, and you seem to have a good grasp of the situation. I just don't understand why people think what they do on this and am hoping someone can point out what I'm missing.
The idea is that if everyone does it, there would be so much of a public outcry, that the IRS would quickly become powerless if they start arresting everyone.
Hmmm, so maybe a little like what happened with Prohibition? Ok, I can see how that might work.
Thanks for the response!

I am a middle class person in California that got caught up in an unlawful scheme run by the State's income tax agency to collect more taxes than is actually owed (by their own records). The scheme that I got caught up in targets small business owners and retirees, particularly those who are married. Because a lawyer would have cost more than the amount being disputed, there was no point in hiring a lawyer. I represented myself, but most people just give in and pay the excess taxes.
As I have been fighting back, I have uncovered several more schemes to overcharge taxpayers. Some of the schemes target the poor.
Meanwhile, the State is desperately trying to get everyone who is not required to file a return to file a return anyway, using an assortment of carrots and sticks to try to incentivize/coerce them to file returns. Little do these people know that they are being lured into a trap.
I believe that the state is trying to ensure that people become "trapped in the system" and can't ever pull themselves into a better financial situation by imposing excess taxes, fees, penalties and interest that were never owed, then garnishing wages/cleaning out bank accounts, thus ensuring people are in a bad financial situation.
I guess what I am saying is that I agree with you, that the government will use the lack of filing returns/paying taxes to further "deep state" agendas to force everyone into poverty.
It really is disgusting how they deliberately set people up for failure.
If a person didn't pay their taxes because they didn't have the money, they're obviously not going to be able to pay the fines and penalties on top of that.
They know exactly what they're doing, and it really is just disgusting.
