1. Fuck y’all 🖕🏻

   But also, like, pls show me how to not pay taxes either…

2. Bold move cotton, let see how this plays out

4. The IRS scares me more than any other government entity.

5. Look filing taxes sucks ass but you gotta file like the rest of us assholes

6. Good luck, let’s see how that works out for you.

7. If people/companies refuse to pay the taxes they owe, despite being given multiple opportunities to do so, that cuts into the budgets of police, the military, social safety net programs, infrastructure, and all the other things that government assists with. It creates unnecessary burden on other taxpayers to pick up the slack or deal with the consequences of less government services. Basically, people who purposefully don’t pay taxes are assholes.

   That said, I think there is a good argument that one shouldn’t have to pay taxes until they receive a certain amount of annual income/capital gains, and to make state tax just as if not more progressive than national tax.

   But if you can afford to pay taxes and you refuse, you do deserve negative consequences.

8. I hope they’re okay with not driving on roads, sending their kids to school, using public libraries, calling 911, or anything else taxes pay for.

9. believe it or not, jail

10. I’d remind people that AL Capone was nailed for tax evasion.

11. I mean ask Wesley Snipes, Al Capone, and Ja Rule how well that worked out for them.

12. The irs is rather diligent (and completely fucking terrifying) in getting these people so I don’t think about it too much

13. Go directly to jail.

14. I have no opinion. Anyone who doesn’t pay taxes goes to prison. The IRS handles it, not my problem.

15. Good luck with that.

16. ……..how?

    Do they just not buy things ever?

17. I work hard for my modest living. Uncle Sam gets a cut of what I make many times by the time I spend it. If I had any hate towards them it’s disguised jealousy.

18. I file my US taxes and pay Japanese taxes. I do my share. Any who tries to skip on that deserves jail.

19. Sounds like a bunch of Conheads to me

20. It might not be tomorrow, a month, or even a year from now, but it’s gonna come back to bite you in the ass. Likely ruin your life too. My grandmother skipped out on her taxes for 5 years thinking that she found some sort of loophole. Lawyer fees, the missing taxes, and existing debt nearly sent her into homelessness if we weren’t there to loan her a big chunk of money.

21. I think they’re the same assholes crying for government help when there’s a natural disaster

22. Probably not a wise idea even though taxation is extortion

23. I mean, considering Al Capone went down for tax fraud instead of being a mob boss and being involved with countless murders, good luck. The devil works hard but the IRS works harder.

24. If you don’t own a congressman or twelve it’s a pretty bold move

25. My dog makes me pay a cheese tax every time I open the fridge.

26. I think those folks are scumbags.

27. Just a heads up if OP is a foreigner, but most of us have taxes taken out of our Paychex automatically and sent in by our employer.

28. Selfish dicks

29. Fuck those guys. They’re the real freeloaders.

30. IRS got an extra funding boost for law enforcement personnel and weapons last year, so let’s see what they think

31. Assholes.

32. Refuse to pay? Or take advantage of tax loopholes? Cuz if it’s the first, I’d like to meet someone who pays no taxes. If it’s the second, idk, I can understand why people have issues with it, but I personally try to minimize my taxes as much as possible.
