 Calls for tax revolts in the US are increasing.  

“I am so sick of our government taking our money. They tax us on every hour we work. They tax us on gas, food, everything we buy. Property tax. Everything. It is f*cking ridiculous.”

 Tax the taxes. That’ll help the economy 
 There are people that don't pay anything of this regard. This is what the founding fathers of the United States of America (see what I did there?) had done when any grievances were not addressed by the king of England at the time. 
 OPT OUT OF THE HIDDEN TAX. USE BITCOIN.

STOP PAYING TAXES.

 Didnt unmute was too busy admiring the beard. 
 Taxation is theft!  
 I honestly have been questioning whether to even do my taxes this year. Haven't yet. Has anyone else been thinking this way? #AskNostr

 People can't meaningfully revolt when taxes are withdrawn automatically.  
 Everyone should change to claim exempt at the same time. 
 Here in the US, only those W-2 employees who have no tax liability, or expect to have all federal income taxes are eligible to exempt themselves from tax withholdings. Very few are eligible. They thought this out very carefully. 

The only way out that I can see is to not earn dollars at all.  
 No doubt, but the status quo wont continue, somethings gonna pop. 
 you are 100% wrong and need to get absorb the following material:

 Well that's great. 🤙  
 thats the spirit - take note #nostr refuse. 
 remembering the good times buddy, just like McCain
🤔 
 apologies... pretty much correct about the first part regarding exemption, with caveat, and second claim is one way to go about it yet not the most practical... nor is it necessary when the actual law is grokked.

the caveat is WHO is liable in the first place and this can be found quite easily in the material and 15 min high octane podcast I linked to... 
 So, if I listen to that Dr. Reality, I'll end up paying more for tax lawers than for income taxes.  
 you sound like the typical american bum - go back to academia or else listen to more and read the book before you offer your penned-in "thoughts"...

even a cursory familiarity with the issue is enough to prove such idiocy unfounded but you are too comfortable to even get that far...

finally its not a financial calculation - its a matter of Law and lies and whether you want to be a part of that doomed trajectory or grow a fucking pair and make a stand and sacrifice for your progeny...

pathetic. 
 Uncomfortable with feeling enslaved like the proverbial slaves from which niggers spawned by?!

To live in fear with chaos and uncertainty suffocating all logic, unsettling, ain’t it? 
 I'd love to start a Bitcoin-only business. I've had a few ideas stewing. 
 There are ways to do it, but many think it's sovereign citizen garbage so they miss out. 
 Well, I'm here for the sovereign citizen garbage as long as I can keep taking care of my family. 
 Tea time.

 Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men. 
 Count me in, I'm not paying for WWIII or transgender city.  Fuck em.  
 bro it is 100% ILLEGAL ...

the bible on the topic is by Dave Champion - you should really have him on the show man he would be an excellent guest as he is an exceptional speaker!

 he had his own podcast here is an excellent short example that will blow your fucking mind - 15 minutes... stop everything and do it.

 @garden_variety_jess get this guy on nostr. I think he’ll like it here. 
 Epic beard  
 Wait till he hears about inflation 
 Stop filing your returns and volunteering your private data (if self employed). There is no law that says filing a return is compulsory 
 Visit my profile to see a video of an ex IRS agent explaining how she could not find the legislation. I’m all about not paying tax. It’s VOLUNTARY!! 
 Although you're correct, they will still attempt a Notice of Deficiency and if you don't know how to rebut that, you're fucked. 

The key is finding an employer that you can show that filling out a W4 is not necessary and the IRS has provisions to protect employers from their employee not wanting to fill out a W4, because then the 1040 will not be expected (even though a 1040 isn't even meant for 99% of people by the IRS's own rules). 
 Not advice, by my GFs maternal grandmother never filed a single tax return in her whole life, and she did work. #legend  
 What's the point of taxation if they just spend whatever they want and print whatever they need?

 I'm jealous that long term capital gains tax is only 15%. There's no such thing where I live... It's just considered regular income and taxed at 35%+. Forced hodl.  
 We've been engaged in tax revolt for the last two years.  Our strategy, all legal, is to simply be so poor in dollars that we don't get taxed. 
 A personal favorite of mine  
 They need his money to pay down other people's college loans. 
 reagan ordered a study of where exactly income taxpayers dollars were going in the early 80s - even way back then the findings revealed that 100% of the income tax dollars were going to SERVICE THE INTEREST ON THE NATIONAL DEBT.

 I think just having a beard like that gets you an automatic SWAT visit.  
 Stop paying taxes 
 And 99% of people continue to fund them and to play their sick game of indoctrination, fear and control. OptOut 
 Ain’t nothing like a good ol’ fashioned tax revolt to show the man what’s what 💪 
 "I'm so vivid right now" 😅 
 Entrepreneur here, I'm 100% with you! Bitcoin fixes this! 
 So many of these videos are trending, if they're not moaning about direct taxes, then its inflation, yet no one is talking about a solution, like they just want the government to lift the boot off their neck slightly and it will all be okay and some of them even ask for more spending like bro give me a subsidy lol 

I doubt we're close to any kind of tipping point  
 This guy needs to read this

This is how you fight back
#FUCKIRS 
 This just shows people's tax refund checks when they overpaid. But they still paid 
 No. Read the documentation presented in that site.

 I have not paid income tax in over 30 years and when they send me bills first off no individual will sign the form second off by now the compounded fees and penalties bring it up to nearly $1 million 🤬🖕🏽yet I have not even filed in over 30 years🤷🏽‍♂️ 
 Move to #Bitcoin - it removes the power Government has over you! Start NOW - it takes time. I have been working this transition since 2016. 
 Bombs aren’t going to pay for themselves, commies! 
 Even setting aside level of taxation, I have never met a single person in my entire life who thought taxes were easy to calculate and file. 100% of people agree we need major reform to at least make it simpler. I work in finance and barely follow half the shit on my taxes. 
 Americans will celebrate common folk resisting the boot of oppressive tax regimes in their books (e.g. Roman empire in the Bible at the time of Jesus or the British crown during the Boston Tea Party) yet still feel it's our patriotic duty to pay tribute with our time and labor to a profligate and craven class of parasites. The height of irony. Maybe this proves we've been bought/sold.

We should all be this outraged.

 We have a great history of example.  And it didn't include any courts. 

 That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.  

we've only done it once, but more than most.
