As much as I am for a tax revolt, there’s a difficult chicken and egg situation.

If not enough people are able to prove they aren’t paying taxes, it discourages people from participating because the risk of incarceration goes up.

So if you’re on here saying you won’t pay, prove it 😅

Protip: If you don’t earn fiat, you don’t have to pay any taxes 🧠

Sure but that’s not where most people are at today. If we needed this to be the prerequisite, a tax revolt won’t happen for at least a decade

It’s the easiest way out. Slow drain. If we remove our participation in the legacy systems completely they have nothing left to tax, and their power dissolves.

You’re probably right, but selfishly, id love to see the current moment used to make it happen faster 😅

If you live in the US this is not correct.

Haha. Its easier to stay off the radar, for sure.

What they don’t know can’t hurt them? 😬

You have to pay FMV taxes for barter in the US

No idea what that means 🤷‍♀️

‘Bartering income’ is an oxymoron

All I know is all summer long i place fruits and vegetables and mushrooms out for my neighbors and I receive salmon and venison and sometimes elk and bear. We barely have ever talked to each other.

Better make sure to include that ‘income’ on your tax return!? Nahhhh thanks. Just keep giving! 💛

Ridiculous 🤣

You’re also supposed to pay taxes on things you’ve stolen 🤣

Filou 1d ago

Don’t forget to report those stolen goods 🤣

Believe it or not I had that post written out and deleted it in favor of what I wrote. They even want a piece of any illegal activity you have like “drug dealing” too. Wild
