Glad you mentioned that. I was going to post that very idea elsewhere but I’m glad I’m seeing some support for civil disobedience. DT understands money and confrontation and a tax protest would provide both.

I was thinking the same thing. As long as the DOGE bags have control of the Treasury coffers, we should protest by refusing to pay our federal income taxes. Since the few remaining IRS agents will be busy at the border, a massive “income tax protest” would likely throw some sand in the gears!

Great Idea! I read an article about standing up to dictators with civil disobedience. They want all the money so take it away from them.

I saw a post that said to change your deduction at work to zero until this is resolved.

I always made my W-2 at work O zero deductions. I never wanted to give Feds. an interest free loan. I suggested that here a couple of times. If necessary I filled estimated taxes every quarter and kept my extra paycheck cash in a CD or high interest savings account.

I will do anything to put a monkey wrench in the trump/Musk/GOP Works.

If inflation goes through the roof, taxes at the end of the year will have mostly have been paid by $$ worth less than at the beginning of the year. Yes?

But, if you don't know how much you owe, conceivably because you didn't get your, say 1099s, how can you pay? You've paid some all along, but not the full bill. Please explain.

We should be LOUD.

HOW CAN WE BELIEVE OUR TAXES WILL BE PROCESSED CORRECTLY AND NOT COMPROMISED?

This is a billionaire's/millionaire's and those evading (vs. avoiding) to pay their taxes boon.

He does? People who understand money go bankrupt often? Maybe we need an investigation on those stats. People who understand the complexity of a presidency , the rule of law, and why guardrails are established …like LAW..don’t act like Trump …those are the cons, the conspiracies, the criminals …and real “concepts”.

I remember seeing a story of Trump paying other students who were smarter than him take tests for him…Possible since classes in colleges are fairly large…

yep including getting someone to sit in for his SAT's to get in college, Ebstein said that the Donald "cannot read a financial spread sheet" Don Jr said he barely "understood accounting 101" that being said? wonder why he was bankrupt 6 times? Donald is a stupid bufoon, that is a underage Sex predator, a 34 time felon, grifter. He would and likely has sold us all out for his personal gain!! he stole from his own charitiy's he stole from Erics Charity Cancer fund oh is he clever triple the rental rate for their events!! at the St Judes sick kids expense?

hard to get my head around someone that went to an Ivy League school, got a Bachelors in Finance and cannot read a financial spread sheet? ha ha oh and yep his boy Don Jr. said that he doesn't "hardly understand accounting 101" they both have the same 4 year degree from the same school. who's really fake here?? so annoying especially for myself and others that actually studied in school while working to pay the expenses at the same time!! no wonder hes going after the Dept. of Education he and they boy are STUPID!! prove me wrong?

maybe the reason that hits home for me while I was working on my graduate degree, my Supervisor whom I looked up to as she claimed she had "2 Masters Degrees" until she told me "I paid to have all my papers done in School" my opinion of her dropped big time oh yes I was tempted to do that, but I never did Jokes on her

I am always amazed how ‘tone’ can be reflected in such writs. And how humor can be wry. The subtleness. Nice, Scott 👏

That could help maybe? How about Jamie Raskins class action against Elon for every US citizen having a data breach by Elonia? One here hoping Ben might be interested having the mighty join in! Yes please Sir put me at the top of the list!!

I think this is Rep. Jamie Raskin not Rollins who is considering a class action suit.

I'm in immediately.

I really don't care if it takes 10 years. I wouldn't be in it for the money. I am 74 so may not be here in 10 years. But, oh the satisfaction of giving him and Musk just a moment if not more of aggravation is so worth it to me. That would do my heart good and i could die with a smile and a one finger salute. I am already below poverty and have nothing else to give. So count me in.

exactly! it's not about the money especially with a class action, usually the first person in line and the attorney make out on those but it's some way to call out the behavior a multi million person class action against Elon? I'd seriously think about donating my money to the loss to folks that he is directly responsible for hurting!! I was not hurt I am just angry about the Jack Ass's Narcist's behaviors!

I am waiting for the axe to fall on my SS, Medicade, and EBT, plus i live in a senior citizen highrise run by HUD. Everything is so up in the air so I worry about what happens to where I live. No family backup so it is scary. My point is, whatever i can do to put strees on the GOP, I am all for. They are committing GENOCIDE on the people of this country and around the world.

It may take a long time and pay $5 but it is a resistance to tie up Coupmasters' lawyers. Their lawyers are getting bad reps, warnings from judges that lying in court may jeopardize their lawyer licenses.I predict that even fewer lawyers willing to work for trump/Coupmasters will defend them in court. But with Musk's billions, who knows who can be bought.

I'm counting on MT to let us know when and where protests will begin. Thanks for the tax suggestion. Now, when and where will we take to the streets?
