I pay every penny I owe in taxes, but I must say that this year really felt like a gut-punch on account of all the illegal shit that the federal government is doing with our hard-earned money

I'd propose a law where states could pay taxes a la carte. Then if you disagree with what military is doing, you don't pay that part of the taxes. But if Iran sends nuclear missiles you're not covered by the missile shield. Then you'd see people 💩 in their pants and pay up.

Same. Funds have been slashed for almost everything I care about, and are being used to pay for things I DON’T want - war, ICE etc. I’ve never resented paying taxes…until NOW. Time for a taxpayer strike maybe???

I paid more than I've ever paid, then I heard Shitler telling everyone to remember it was because of him. Don't worry, I'm not gonna forget.

False? Assuming you're not a tax expert. Our tax code is insanely complex, and unless you're well educated in the Tax Code, I'm unsure how 'anyone' can pay the exactly correct amount.

Don’t pay federal taxes. only state taxes to blue states. Otherwise it’s going to a dictatorship, he’s already grifted enough. And he was the only one at the capital trying to overturn my vote.

Knowing I paid taxes to a maga christian nazis fascist government makes me ill. I lost an uncle in WWII fighting nazis fascist white supremacist, and here we are again. Maga christian, formally republican, are nazis fascist murderering insurrectionist. The world suffers for their hate and greed.

I've always paid. This year, also... And then felt INSTANT regret... Things have gotten worse since then in this Gov. Already figured out how to withhold military contributions for this coming year...but even that may not be enough. Tax dollars for arches...is a NO

Completely understand and agree. But it’s not the Government, it’s one person who is spending everyone else’s money and at the same time trying to steal as much money as possible at the same time. We call him “The Grifter In Chief”!

& Then We Get Gut Punched Again After We Find Out Who Paid ..Zero -0- ..💰.. In Taxes 😳.. Thanks To The Republicans Tax Cuts For Corporations ..

For the first time in more than a decade, I did not get a refund, but had to pay. And my wife & I are both retired (although she still works 10 hrs/week). This ta cut bullshit is a lie. A big friggin' LIE.

Y’all KNOW for CERTAINTY that you are funding CRIMINALS AND TERRORISTS to do CRIMES AND TERRORISM with YOUR money And you’re STILL FUCKING PAYING IT?!? That makes YOU a fucking CRIMINAL TOO! You know that right? You don’t get to just FUND criminals and terrorists and then not be called one!

I feel you. I want to withhold my tax payments from the FEDS for breach of promise & taxation without representation. Majority of Congress IS NOT working for US taxpayers.

I wrote a letter to the IRS along with a check drafted for 3/5 of my fed taxes. It explains that I can’t be complicit in the crimes of this amuck regime. I paid 3/5 in hope that that money will go to key social programs. Of course, I know giving anything makes me complicit & must live this shame.

That is the best letter ever. I think we should have a say in what our taxes go for. Of course, that won't happen, but you did the right thing. Taking from the poor to pay the rich is infuriating. Many of us will be drowning soon, but God forbid he doesn't get that damn arch.

It'd be wonderful if you could allocate your taxes to what you consider worthy. Maybe the govt decides for 50%, but you get to allocate the remainder to programs as you see fit: health care, food stamps, education, whatever. Would be VERY interesting to see the aggregated results.

I have heard people talk about this over the years…think about how it would change the landscape of our country’s priorities. We would need all kinds of intel so we’d understand the more obscure but important programs…but the citizen engagement would be awesome!

But would it result in some departments “promoting” themselves to the citizenry…? Like: hey we need PR money so the tax payers allocate more to us this year-type behavior?

Yeah, its not a 'perfect' idea. It'd be hard to implement for exactly that reason. And because now many voters who only have to make 1 decision make some very uninformed bad ones. Imagine if they had to make many to decide how much to fund various programs (might work out in the aggregate).

So, if the things certain in life are death and taxes - but if your rich you can avoid taxes. Maybe we should make rich people pay taxes? (Because murder is still illegal. )

Made sure to maximize my IRA contribution this year to reduce taxable income. Ugh. Disgusting how much US federal budget is dedicated to the military industrial complex and wars of aggression.

Instead of obsessing over every little requested bit of data, I went with the flow. "What was the FEIN of the stock that paid you $2.61 in dividends in 2025?" I don't f-ing know, dude. You figure it out. I don't think they'll come after me.

And it won't be long before it all catches up to you.. you can continue to be smug, but your are an insult to the rest of us that DO pay our taxes for decades. Your time is coming!

Yes. And what are we paying for? They've cut every program that helps average people. Insteas, we're paying for the torture of immigrants in concentration camps, kidnappings, and murders by the Pedofuhrer's paramilitary.

I mean, maybe I’m in a tax bracket that benefited from the tax law…but I don’t give a damn about it. Have donated as much as possible to campaigns where incumbent Repub needs to get kicked out. And it pisses off my soon to be ex MAGA spouse doing so, but that sorta makes it even more satisfying. 😉

I got a call from the IRS to pay my measly $200 or else. I yelled at that poor IRS worker that Elon or Trump or Zuckerberg could certainly cover it, because I sure as shit cannot. For what it’s worth. This is from last year. I owe even more now. I’m so fucked. I barely get by.

And because they take $0 income. They get stocks and borrow from banks against those stocks, which is considered more debt to use to pay less in taxes. This is why asking billionaires to pay more in income tax will not work. We have to find another way to get them to pay their fair share.

Buppet claimed if 80 corporations paid the same tax rate as him citizens wouldn't need to be taxed. Elizabeth Warren was claiming 80 corporations didn't pay taxes at all, correct? I think therein lies the problem.

The reason I'm up that high is because I also got hit with capital gains taxes. This is what happens when a retail worker eats beans and rice for years to build a nest egg and get out of debt. I can finally put my money to work to make money, and I'm still screwed.

If the powerful prevent the 99% from having law-abiding& effective @rokhanna.bsky.social, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social/ @mayor.nyc.gov& @newyorkstateag.bsky.social 99% may make common cause w/ the desperate,law-breaking Luigi Mangiones of the world. Expect 0 from GOP. Mamdani helps NYC catch up to 🌍.

A big tax revolt is happening right now. I am looking into it today. I don’t feel like paying money into a broken system that doesn’t represent us and that likes to give to money/supplies to Israel to commit war crimes.

I haven't written our tax check yet because our diesel bill has doubled. I'm not sure how long truckers like us can survive. We pulled through covid but it nearly bankrupted us. This is worse.

Same. Always pay my taxes and make sure my adult children do as well. But it feels terrible to do right now considering how our government is failing us and causing so much worldwide pain and suffering.

Agreed. I had my highest tax bill EVER. All I could think about was how much of it Trump is going to steal or use to blow up more school girls in Iran or maybe Cuba next.
