The IRS has conferences every year and one of the things they talk about is the idea of a tax revolt (they are rightly freaked out about it), their method for dealing with this is to audit and investigate influencers who encourage tax revolts.

So when you post like this you increase your audit risk tremendously, but hey maybe you really do start a movement and collapse the government 🤷🏻‍♂️

The problem is most people get a refund every year. So the odds of getting a critical mass of Americans to opt out is low.

Do they already know about Nostr and how to use it? 👀

Seen a LOT of people on Instagram not only encouraging it but stating that they will not pay, and putting their name and photo on it.

Some of these videos have hundreds of thousands of views.

What's absolutely wild is that NOBODY wants to pay them, but everyone does, and nobody stops because of fear of retaliation.

If we all stopped overnight, there would be nothing they could do to stop us, it's in our hands but nobody wants to be "That guy"

sounds like we're dealing with some kind of mafia

We are though, basically

ironically it is the state that is supposed to protect citizen from the mafia

I'm happy to be that guy.

Going 4 years strong.

It’s kind of inevitable. I figure this is why Trump even began floating the idea of ending the IRS.

Most people can’t just stop paying taxes anyway because they have W2 jobs that deduct them automatically

I wonder how much this would actually do though? They can (and do) just print the money they need. Remember Bukele's speech, we only pay our taxes to uphold the illusion that it gunds the government

*funds* the government

A tax revolt has nothing to do with actually withholding money from the government because they print it. The only effective tax revolt is to use Bitcoin only as your every day money. Audits are nothing, it's the enforcement that creates issues.

2025 is over, nostr.

That means something special.

Tax season is coming! Don’t forget to contribute funds for the betterment of society, which is what tax dollars work toward.

Many foreign nation leaders, NGOs, and various contractors are all depending on you.

Together!

I dont get the tax revolt. It’s Like telling the mob that you Not paying then anymore.

The majority of people, who get refunds wouldn’t have to opt out to make the point. When the people with tax liabilities opt out and the people with refunds coming don’t opt out, that really squeezes their beans.

I’m not saying imma tax revolt but I think yall probably should.

A refund? You mean the interest free loan you make throughout the year?

Normal folk, especially conservatives, who havent connected the dots on #Bitcoin are increasingly feeling like they have nothing to lose, so I wouldn't be surprised to see something spread.

"The problem is most people get a refund every year"

I get a refund every year. The government takes $25,000 and gives back $5,000 without paying any interest on that amount. Do you think this is a good deal?

It's kinda of a refund, but really you've just overpaid so they don't come and rake you over the coals.

Very kind of them to not do so after you lent them interest free money for 1 year.

pretty much.

MY TAX RETURN MOST YEARS…. IS KIND OF LIKE…. MY BITCOIN REWARDS ON MY GEMINI CARD…. THEY ARE BOTH SIMPLY BULLSHIT MIND FUCK METHODS TO TRY AND KEEP ME LOCKED IN TO FIAT CLOWN WORLD LONGER!!!!

See the IRS was miles ahead of the pleb. Often forgotten that most people get their income tax automatically withheld, so it's not like they can easily stop paying (income) taxes if they wanted to. It's automatic.

Haha, true! 😅

IRS sweating bullets while we just HODL and spread sound money

Maybe one day the masses wake up, opt out, and decentralize everything. Until then… keep stacking sats and mind your audits 🧡

Don't be afraid.

Listen to this man who "keeps putting it out there" that he opted out 30 some years ago.

Opt out is not easy when you are a salary earner and the tax is deducted by your employer, and you pay sales tax on every purchase. Companies that opt out better have btc payments set up with all their suppliers and customers, for when their bank accounts are frozen. The easiest way for the state to control the population is though institutions like banks, listed companies, etc. It's a much smaller population that in turn touches everyone.

Inflation IS taxation. That is, the government isn't going to collapse as long as they can just keep debasing the dollar. So, there is no 'tax revolt' unless that includes a dollar revolt.

Of course, bitcoiners are already onboard with opting out of the dollar 😉

Yeah Payroll taxes are a bitch.

no.

the problem is that godless americans have lost the plot and sold their soul to the devil...

then they proceed to discourage people with actual courage by making faggoty "pragmatic" and base arguments that water down the issue from spiritual imperative and duty to some kind of fucking selfish quantitative cost/benefit analysis...

gfy.

Whomp whomp

wtf kind of female Somalian-level literacy response is this?

you also never responded to this very legitimate question/critique...

nostr:note178hhkgnj8jnq5hapuzqdpa42ucstawfkqtgh8xvaqydrkkzaey2sd445pl

Let me know when you want to actually address things as opposed to just pimping mcmerican platitudes.

Why? just give me a reason and I am happy to oblige... but Im not just giving away info for kicks here dude.

Did you read the treatise or are you another "too-busy" freedom-seeker LARPer?

Just wanna know where you’re at since you want to criticize me for where I’m at

gayop

instead, you meet with single mom's conflict-resolution grudgey psychobabble?

get to fucking work!

I showed you you are not a "man" according to law.

address the issue or go dissolve into comfort somewhere.

You sound European is my guess

this is the image i have of your contribution to this conversation - having a soul made of water is no virtue.

ADDRESS THE FUCKING ISSUE. https://video.nostr.build/090e22a4d28f27a9bc0eba5526d608ff8bdede234cc82faead214fa757dc1777.mp4
