Our Government, As We Know It, Doesn't Exist
“No one would owe a dime of federal taxes if other companies paid their share.“ – Warren Buffett

Our government, as we know it, doesn’t exist. Musk has hit it with a powerful, all destructive chainsaw, putting our country in free-fall. Many departments have been closed and thousands of employees laid off. Vital, life-saving services have been cut for those of us at home and abroad. Those in power are intent on committing genocide and promoting climate destruction, endless war, and economic injustice.

Why would you pay taxes to this rogue government controlled by AI Silicone Valley billionaires? Profit is their goal, not fulfilling citizens’ needs. This is not the government we want. We shouldn’t pay for it.

Many agree but have not thought of refusing to pay taxes. But this is the time to think seriously about tax resistance. There are actually several strategies for disobeying the IRS an either avoiding or minimizing IRS consequences. I have gleaned information from the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee (NWTRCC). Briefly, tactics include filing but refusing to pay your tax, refusing to file a tax return, purposefully earning less than the taxable income.

Risks for not filing
Many taxpayers, however, are worried about consequences of not paying. But according to the NWTRCC, the risk of jailing or fines for war tax resistance cases has been very low​.  Since World War II the total number of cases fined, or otherwise punished with jail or property seizures, has amounted to fewer than 100 people or less than 1 percent of those people who have practiced war tax resistance over those years. It’s very possible that this rate may continue given the chaos that is the government now. 

Power in numbers
While we might be concerned about consequences of defying IRS rulings, we also need to consider the    possibilities for success. Success of a tax boycott largely depends on the number of taxpayers who refuse to pay their taxes. A million taxpayers can’t be ignored when they refuse to pay their taxes for a government they don’t want. Every refusal to pay is a step towards success. Your refusal is a step towards success.

If you’re not ready to refuse to pay your taxes, you still can show your resistance. You can start the resistance by simply signing a Tax Boycott pledge. A Tax Boycott Pledge is a powerful way taxpayers can show their anger and their resistance without risk.

This is how it works: Just email [email protected], giving only your first name, or another name if you wish, and email, your zip code and any questions you might have. When 1,000 pledges are received, the boycott will be activated. Then you can decide if you want to withhold your taxes or not. Your pledge is no risk, no obligation.

Spread the word. No time to waste.
