Oddbean new post about login | logout Fill out w4 with 25 allowances or just tick the box that says you are exempt from withholding, employer doesnt deduct taxes from paycheck. Then, if IRS comes knocking, claim the geneva convention permits you to not to pay taxes if your country is committing or enabling genocide (USA funding Israels genocide).

But most people elect to have their taxes withheld. How do you convince most people to change their election?
Yep, and there is the real question. Of course the mass of people have the real power but only crazy heros take the leap on their own. So, how to convince a critical mass of people to literally check one box on one government form? An anon with a big Tik tok following shows the form and encourages people to tick the box, take their rightful earnings, cite the genocide argument. The people taking the action could even keep in their back pocket the notion of an honest mistake, "Oops, i must have accidentally checked the wrong box". An insurance policy, if it happens that not enough people follow thru with the box ticking. But, if a critical mass does tick, then i reckon you could jam the IRS system with a mer 2% of the employed population. Once it catches on, more people would feel brave enough to take actiin to prevent the govt from stealing from them. 2% becomes 4%, becomes 10% then there is no going back, the system is broken. A girl can dream cant she?

The Canadian equivalent of the W4 is an application for exemption from withholding that requires that you submit a reason for the exemption request, which can then be approved or denied. I’ve been around the horn on this. The only way around it here is to be a contractor and purposely evade (and wait for the goons to show up), or go off grid and work for cash or some asset that you can trade. It’s the Matrix. With so many workers willing to sign up for slavery, most employers don’t need to fuck around dealing with anarchists and the associated risks. Next applicant.
Interesting, and scarily authoritarian. At least within a US context, as an employee, you can essentially decouple the tax theft scheme from your employer by ticking the box. This obviously isnt the end of the harrassment as now you, the individual, are the target. This is where massive non-compliance comes in as the system is not designed to handle this occurrence. Fear is the most often used compliance mechanism of the state, strength in numbers can overcome this (of course until CBDC and social credit is instituted then we have algorithmic enforcement which does an end-run around compliance, scary)
