A tax strike rally has been planned in numerous locations around the U.S. on January 3. Posting on X and Facebook, multiple social media users have shared posters and images depicting plans for the day of action in which they will state their intention to withhold taxes.
It is not clear who is organizing the protests but they appear to be aligned with the right, as some social media posts about the protests attack Democrats and say that right-wing politician people associated with the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement will speak at the events.
Newsweek reached out to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by email to comment on this story outside of normal business hours.
Why It Matters
The planned strikes show the extent to which politics is becoming polarized in the U.S. and tensions are escalating. Previous protests have been organized by anti-Trump groups on the left so the emergence of anti-Democrat protests is significant. Meanwhile, if enough people refuse to pay their taxes, this will have a significant impact on the running of key services in different states and could persuade politicians to negotiate with protesters to keep taxpayer-funder operations viable.
