It's very hard to find the motivation to pay taxes to a federal government that doesn't represent me. "No taxation without representation" drove the revolution against our original king after all...

Now that it's clear the Federal government is just using tax money to give to billionaires, it's going to be extra painful this year. It genuinely just feels like a protection racket now. Pay money to the ruling class, or their enforcers will haul you away to prison.

Taxes are not the problem. Billionaires grabbing the money on the other side are the problem.

The people most capable of carrying the tax burden are the people most likely to cheat their way out of paying taxes.
