and to think we go through all this pain just to pay for corporations to incarcerate immigrant children and black men.

it's truly outrageous.

what if every last one of us said, "uh-uh, i'm not filing until you clean up your act. go ahead, put me in jail. how will you pay for it?"

they can't incarcerate every taxpayer in america anyway.

And exactly how do you know that others will follow suit?

And will everyone stand firm when the first few thousand get hit with penalties and have their bank accounts seized?

Not to mention that they already have your money in most cases and you cant stop withholding.

Well, I tell you what. You go ahead and start the bandwagon. In fact, be the first! I fully support your civil disobedience.

I'll wait with bated breath for you to announce publicly that you are a conscientious objector to filing your income tax return.

Sheesh.

A late former in-law of mine was a polite, well-educated, upper-class, Quaker physician who refused to pay his taxes because of the Vietnam War.

He went to prison.
