“Don’t worry about it. If you’re rich, it wont affect you!”
-Every single thing the GOP has done this term
Sounds to me like we all stop paying taxes as much as possible. Set withholding to lowest possible, don’t file in April. Dump the tea into the harbor. I do not feel represented by ANYTHING this corrupt admin has done, they don’t deserve our tax dollars.
So basically he’s forcing people to pay extra to a private company to file their fucking taxes.
Can someone please think of the shareholders…?
They’re just going to have a record high number of people not filing their taxes, and I can’t tell if that’s the point?
Wtf even filing my taxes is taxed
Can we have a tea party
Beer is fermented tea.

Find your masters. Find their children. Vote for every last one.
Then stop paying fed taxes.
Taxes are taken out of your checks before you are even paid. This isn’t practical.
I do have to wonder if everyone stopped paying federal taxes how that would fuck over Trump. Like, would he admit he’s powerless against the numerous? Would he just lie and pretend the money is there? Would he just not pay the bills like he has historically done?
It’s fun to imagine what he would do facing adversity.
taxes are
Get paid under the table.
would he just pretend
Yes. Obviously. Money’s fake anyway. But that would heighten a looooot if contradictions and fracture a lot of coalitions on the right.

Except why do private companies handle taxes at all? That’s not their business and the government should be able to handle it all themselves. Take your smugness and shove it.

Why are you so upset about the USPS? We have private companies that do what it does better.
If you can’t see the problem with the above statement you need to swallow your tongue.

Oh I guess this makes sense, considering your arguments it tracks that you’re a soulless entity whose reflection won’t show up in a mirror.

“not forced to use them”
This ignores obnoxious hurdles in place to make the free tier as shitty as possible so people buy.
“cover your own ass for mistakes” Well can you personally guarantee that these asshats won’t create traps and gotcha’s along the way?
deleted by creator
Depends on specifics. I haven’t been able to use the free tier for years. These companies collect all kinds of data from its users too.
Well, if you don’t have a complicated tax return, meaning you only have a 9-5 job and no other income streams. You can file it yourself.

The ultimate protest has always been mailing in your taxes
There are only three certainties in life (US edition):
- Taxes
- Filing your taxes
- Death
Trump supporters have a similar brain structure to moths. they see a light (Trump saying something), doesn’t matter what it is or if it’s attached to something that’ll kill them, they’ll flock and rave to it regardless
Why can’t a leftist candidate do that? What’s the secret sauce? Is it violence, or the threat of violence?
It would be easy like this
I will make healthcare free for everyone! We’re going to have the best healthcare in the world and billionaires are going to pay for it!
I’m going to start a federal drug program! We’re going to have the cheapest drugs in the world and no-one will have to decide between rent and their medication!
I’m going to start a national Give Parents Freedom Act, where we will provide free daycare for any parent making under 100k/year! We will pay for it by cutting the military budget by 1%!
In my first 100 days I’m going to sign the mothers are awsome executive order mandating 1 year of maternity leave for mothers and 3 months for fathers. Employers will not be allowed to fire any new parent.
I’m also going to divert ICE money into a new consumer agency called “IYCIWFYU” (If you collude I will fuck you up) their entire mission will be to investigate corporations that are price fixing and stealing money from the people.
I’m going to make digital Tax filing FREE for everyone and divert all IRS investigations into people making over 5 million per year!
Instead we get
I’ll try to pass a bipartisan bill to maybe fix some roads… 🤷I don’t know… We’ll see what Republicans let me do 😢

I don’t think this is the whole secret because that’s basically what our left party in Germany is doing and they’re at 11 % in polls…
People are looking for an enemy image onto which they can project their frustration, and they are not willing to target the wealthy class because they irrationally hope to belong to it someday. Instead, they direct their frustration against the poorer and weaker, as it is much easier to distinguish oneself from a group that one definitely does not want to belong to.
This is class struggle from above…
I think the secret sauce is critical thinking. No joke.
Stupid followers that need to be told to hate someone.
Could probably succeed on a “hate the billionaires” ticket, if these people weren’t so programmed with capitalism.
Fascism doesn’t have to model reality, just knit together a story that confirms underlying biases of the “middle class” without questioning the system that privileged them, but is failing.
Leftists have the advantage in that we can describe exactly why your material conditions are eroding while we are more productive than ever, but for someone who was privileged under capitalism, its easier to believe the system that privileged them is good and just, its just foreigners and minorities who are exploiting them.
We need a fake fascist candidate then who’s just owning the libs at every turn.
"We’re going to build massive social housing programs and get the homeless of the street,what are ya gonna complain about now, shitlibs?
We’re going to close the gender pay gap and raise federal minimum wage to a living standard. Where’s your talking points now you fucking commie bastards?!
Oh, that’s a nice ‘eat the rich’ banner you e got there. Well these greedy libtards are going to have to go hungry, because we are eating the rich first! Cry into your government-issued fucking trans flag, theythems!’

FREE Tax filing is SOCIALISM!
-People who SUPPORT Trump’s Government buying a Stake in Intel!
If you support Free Tax Filing then you must support the Unconstitutional Anti-American Income Tax.
The Founding Fathers made a blood pact to NEVER do an income tax and ONLY raise money via Tariffs, which is the perfect and Godly way to generate tax revenues. Every president who has ever levied a national income tax has FAILED. And Trump isn’t going to fail this nation by letting people pay that tax for free.
By abolishing the free filing provision, we are going to come one step closure to guaranteeing nobody (earning more than $500k/year) has to pay it again.
Oh there’s still “IRS Free File”, which is a different thing where you have to go through a middle man to get it while they try their damndest to “upgrade” you to the paid version. And presumably they got some kind of money from the US gov either way.
Direct File was a sane program that cut them out and let people file their taxes completely directly. The leeches lobbied against it.
Buying a stake in Intel is not socialism. It’s state capitalism.
It’s corporate socialism later, when the government bails them out.
Socialism is when the workers own the means of production.
This is wrong. Socialism is not ‘getting a bailout’. It is a society that has a more equitable distribution of resources. It is a kind of society where bailouts are far less likely to be needed in the first place.
Socialism is when workers control or own the means of production. How things are distributed is irrelevant.
Communism is where workers own the means of production. Socialism is proposed as a step towards communism.
Get a bettter AS.
Anything and everything to hurt Americans.
Hey guys. If I described to you an entity that did nothing but harm average Americans, would you consider that entity to be an enemy of the United States of America?
Yeah, but, hear me out…what if I told you you’re now allowed to be openly racist?
And openly transphobic? Would that sweeten the pot?
That depends, can I cosplay as military and send browns to concentration camps too? For more than I currently make as with a Bachelor’s degree and over 10 years experience?
Ew. Unless your bachelor’s is from a for-profit university or a Bible college, that’s going to set you back.
Best I can do is for you to LARP as a 2A activist. No pay but you get to feel like you’re one of the special ones. At least until we don’t need you anymore.
And bail you out for treason?
Israel?
Don’t worry, maga americans will find some mind bending justification for this. They are a cult.
It’s pretty open. Step 1 is make income tax as painful as possible, step 2 is get rid of it in favour of tarrifs and other regressive revenue generating fees. And MAGA was already convinced that progressive taxation helped people they want hurt.
My Dad told me during a ride in his truck that he was voting for Trump again because he lowered prices for things in his first term and thought he’d do it again. Every bit of news I have seen of him since is shit that’s making Dads financial situation worse.
Fuck your dad.
No offense.
I don’t really blame my Dad for it, he’s in a pretty bad spot money-wise. He has to support him, my stepmom, my sister, my two stepsisters PLUS the newborn twins one of them just had, my little brother, my cousin that lives with us, two dogs, a turtle, AND myself whenever I come over. We had so many people living with us at one point he had to set up some new walls and doors in what used to be my little brothers toy room to turn it into two separate bedrooms.
He voted for Trump entirely because of his belief that if he became president again, we would be as financially stable as we were when he was first president. Back when we could afford going on a camping trip twice a year, back when our fridge was regularly stocked with ingredients to make our own lunches, back when he could afford to buy a whole 200$ game console for my birthday, ect. That hasn’t ended up happening and every time I get a glimpse at the news he’s not any closer to doing that. If my Dad was ever a “Trump supporter” I doubt he is now.

Oh give him credit. He ran up the national debt pointlessly before the pandemic.
HURR DURR MR SNAKE OIL PROMISED TO GIVE ME MONEY
Fuck’s sake, we just need a Democratic candidate who gives speeches to red states: “I will give all of you five quintillion dollars I am not lying”
What prices did he lower? I thought you guys were having a pandemic and that he was riding on Obama’s economy.
I wouldn’t know cause I was 12 when he first got elected, too busy playing my PS3 and talking with my friends on Google+ to check the current state of the economy.
Thats because Obama fixed an economy a republican had broken, and it took a long time to reverse that. How were things by the end of this cheeto nazi’s first term?
Unforgivable to remotely support this pedophile who wants to murder anyone he doesn’t like, and this has been known about him for decades. Look at the central park five amd his years of vommentary about his own daughter, all before the first term.
Your dad has zero fucking morals.
When admitting, even to yourself, that you were wrong/duped feels worse than just dying, lol.
I try not to feel bad when I’m wrong. There is a whole trillion dollar set of apparatuses at work specifically evolved and designed to trick us into falling for it. I don’t judge for being wrong, but for refusing to admit it when it’s so clear it is sometimes flabbergasting. I’ve tried to see what they see to be fair to them, but they believe an election was stolen because somebody walked by a mailbox in Philly. I can’t understand that level of guillibility if someone is willing to admit they are wrong.
I don’t think that’s it. Have you been on Twitter lately? Every decision he makes is followed by skews of pundits explaining why it’s actually a genius move and how what he’s doing is actually awesome, and without a thought the GOP supporters just eat it up. It’s absolutely nuts. I barely even see anybody pissed about the Epstein files anymore. The only people who supported him that don’t anymore seem to be the supernazis who consider him to be a puppet of Israel and “the Jews.” It’s absolutely fucked.
the pundits are paid to do that

Sigh. I used Direct File last year and it was great. Back to FreeTaxUSA I guess. The least shitty option I’m aware of.
You can still use free fillable forms, you can fill out the raw tax forms yourself online and can submit them online there. Not the best UI, it’s literally just the forms, but you cut out the middle man so they don’t get more money to lobby congress to keep this dumb system going. It’s also free if you make more then $85,000 , which alot of the “free” software isn’t.
I’ve always just got the forms from the IRS site and mailed them in. If they’re going to make me work for it, I’ll make them work too.
Freetaxusa is the GOAT for filing. Have all my shit saved on a NAS and it’s so easy.
