If the government is shutdown, why are we still paying taxes? 🤔
Discussion
Because people are dumb.
There are armed groups inside the IRS with guns according to chatgpt.
Because it’s all a scam 🤷🏽♂️
Because the banks don't stop collecting interest
The real question is why do we pay taxes when the government is running? The founding father's refused.
Slave mentality
Because the IRS is able to fund itself
Not really, no. There are currently major non payments of essentials and furloughs going on. Only some of the IRS is not based off annual appropriations.
I mean, it's not like the money they collect in taxes goes to the IRAs, it goes to the Treasury accounts.
I thought they were going to try to use incoming revenue to fund part of the IRS. Maybe that didn't work out.
They can't, by law. Well, I mean they can, but they would likely get sued.
They've done a bunch of things that they supposedly couldn't by law.
So, there's a demonstrated willingness to take things to court and they seem to win a lot of the cases.
If they win, it isn't against the law. If they lose, it would be. To my knowledge, there has not been any major losing cases in court to which they have not complied with circuit or supreme court rulings.
But either way, none of this matters and doesn't change the fact, the majority of the IRS agents are not currently funded currently.
I think we're on the same page. I'm just pointing out that people claiming something is prohibited by law hasn't stopped them from doing many things, so I didn't expect it to stop them from trying this particular thing.
I just said this 1 hr ago lol
You’re still paying taxes?
?
Congressmen should have to sit on the sidewalk and accept tax payments like the bums they are.
I'm not. I pay taxes in April.
Easy: These are Catholic dues, as EVERYONE is forced into Catholicism.
You're doing your bit to counteract the printer.
Good question 👏🏾
Who else will fund the invasion of Venezuela?
Very good point nostr:npub18dlusgmprudw46nracaldxe9hz4pdmrws8g6lsusy6qglcv5x48s0lh8x3
It’s like giving $5 to a recently closed hotdog stand and not even receiving a damn hot dog
Belgium holds the record: 541 days without a new government. I paid taxes so they could go on with the endless back & forth 🤷🏻♂️ oh and boy, did we get an a-ma-zing government! 😂
Really makes you wonder doesn't it 🤔
I want a refund
That part of the government never shuts down !
Because children in Uganda still need circumcisions
