This government doesn't deserve our tax dollars. Theyve made it clear they're funneling as much as possible straight to the billionaires.

Just don't pay.

And what would that do?

They already run a deficit, so they'll run a bigger deficit. Printing money is a flat tax on everyone. So not paying taxes is just applying a flat tax on others.

Plus you get to go to jail and cost me money to support you there.

I'm all for effective protest, but this doesn't seem to be it.

(Stupid question) Why would they print more money instead of just having a higher deficit until congress increases taxes on the poor?

It's the same thing really. When they run a deficit, they're paying money to somebody, so that money enters circulation causing inflation.

Boy they are not funneling shit it already all goes to them openly for years. You are feeling the aftershock. And many people have told you that your working class is being robbed blind. But you did nothing but fuel the fire. You protested then you said cringe to yourself about the process and the oligarchy laughs every time
