Is it time for a Tax Revolt?

[diverdownjt]

If there isn't much of Federal Government anymore...What are we paying taxes for?
We need to cut off the money supply some how. Starting with getting Sen. Schumer on the right side again.
Just tossing out my feelings on the matter...for what they're worth. Don't know how to do any of this
but that's what I come here for...the idea factory known as the Democratic Underground.

So OK do your worst.

1. It's time for a revolt.

2. Trump wants a tax revolt so he can undo the IRS. He'd

love that.

[elocs]

11. Yes he would. n/t

3. French style revolt! Fuck Trump! And stop spending money!

[diverdownjt]

7. I agree

Lets pick a week and prepare to stop spending money in that time frame.
If anyone is planning a french style revolt you can count me in.

10. When you're as poor as I am, who has money to spend? I'm a step above homeless, for now. n/t

4. They want to eliminate the government almost entirely.

So this would only play into their hands.

They don’t care who gets hurt, they don’t care if the economy crashes, they don’t want to provide any services.

I don’t see how anything short of a French Revolution style revolt would do anything.

And for that we’d need all the people on board. As it is, the cultists would fight us for their billionaire overlords and a huge portion of the country has no idea that any of this nightmare is even happening. They don’t vote and they wouldn’t participate in any protest, whatever form it might take.

8. They aren't paying attention now...

but how much longer can they hide their heads in sand when the whole economy crashes all around them and their jobs go away.
They will pay attention then and if not we don't need them anyway.

5. The Trump tariffs are our new federal sales tax.

Trump is claiming to be in favor of eliminating federal income tax. He would then have us all paying massive sales tax to him with no services for us.

To execute a tax revolt we have to stop buying goods

6. Whenever your revolt is over, you'll still owe the IRS penalties and fees.

9. If there is anyone left to at the agency.

The watch dogs of our federal govt. are gone. If there is anyone left to oversee this agency they might be too busy to care or
effectively do anything. Still just spit balling here thanx for commenting.

12. The agency will be geared to go after regular people going forward

If you're rich, you're probably going to be fine, but the IRS will be auditing regular people more often now. And Elon's AI will probably target minorities and people from Blue areas for more auditing.

13. I thought they were getting rid of the IRS.

You can't avoid tariffs without piracy.
