Why am I paying federal taxes? I don't want and especially don't need any of this shit.

All my life I've felt that paying federal taxes actually made my and my loved ones' lives better. But not anymore. So why am I now paying taxes to hurt me, my neighbors, and well, the American people generally as well as people in other countries near and abroad?

Can't I just boycott this federal government, boycott this IRS?

Can we all do that?

I don’t know how well that would go over with the Gestapo though.

I agree that I don't want to support this shit-show.

But not paying your taxes is a guarantee for shit-to-come.
