You won’t live to see meaningful change. The US created income tax at the behest of the wealthiest businessmen and land owners. Prior to 1913 they only taxed workers to support war efforts. The government ran on property taxes, business taxes and tariffs. Of course the rich wanted to pay less and make the working class pay more. Not to mention the constant influx of tax revenue meant that they could push military interventionism all over the globe. The military industrial complex was born and war for profit began.
You think all the people and corporations profiting from foreign conflicts are going to give that up to save you money? 🤣🤣🤣
This is capitalism, baby! The greatest economic system ever devised!
If Trump gets rid of it, he'd go down as the greatest president in US history in my opinion
I'm less bothered by the tax itself then by the nonchalance that our hard earned tax funds are spent. When I was coming up I remember politicians giving the little song and dance every election cycle. Talking about how they were going to implement tax cuts and reign in spending. We've actually gotten to the point that the politicians basically say now, "hey you're opinion is only relevant to us every election cycle so we can get your vote and you're not even funding my campaign, the corporations are. Those are the people who actually own me and whose opinions i care about. You're lucky I'm even here listening to your poor asses".😆
Because they know at this point short of a revolution there's NOTHING you can do about it. And as long as people still have a house to live in, a meal on their table and a big screen t. v. with a few creature comforts, that ain't never happening.
Buy something you can write off as a business expense. A nice expensive piece of equipment for example.
Hire it out, cash on hand only.
Tax problem solved
Yep. I'm mad as hell at my latest check. I was supposed to get an extra 750 for a bonus but they taxed the shit out of it. So I was left with 481. Fuckers.

How should the government pay for essential services like defense?
Not my problem
The country cannot afford for everyone to have such an irresponsible attitude. Are you ready to learn how to speak Mandarin or Farsi?
Didn't sleepy joe help make filling taxes at least on a. gov website, Then don took that away?
What's the alternative to income tax? A subscription cost to being alive basically. Better income tax on a progressive scale. We also the privilege of electing representatives to govern us and determine said percentages of tax. Also jury of peers is a thing. Elected law makers can write the laws but every day have the ultimately the final say how they are understood.
Compared to a flat fee subscription. If you don't pay you die. Like slavery. It's gooberish to say tax is theft.

That's basically the cognitive limit of a society without tax. Live in a village kumbaya like with 150ish people.
That's more or less people maintaining a small wal mart today. Realistically anyone who creates a larger village with a tax system will dominate then enslave said smaller village.
The government has gotten to invasive over the last few decades. The trend is getting worse too. The government wants to eliminate the use of cash so every purchase can be tracked. Thr IRS wants every last dime it thinks we owe.
After hearing where my tax dollars were sent to other countries and squandered on ridiculous things. I would say that my money was stolen by the corrupt government.
Taxes are the cover charge for civilization.
You have options. Exercise them!
Bullshit. There's no "cover charge for civilization." I have no obligation to supply some worthless druggie with his junk food while there's countless organizations that will provide someone in need with a free meal
To "cover" all that was done by society before you.
To "pay it forward" to those after you.
it is theft... but it is legalized theft... lol...
