You could actually legally go on tax strike and not pay any taxes.
But it would mean adjusting your income dramatically and having to live at a lot lower standard of living.
That's why the government keeps getting away with it.
As long as you can still be a bit better off by helping pay for the government, you will grumble but still pay for the ones that enslave you.
They know it and count on it.
Good luck with that (not paying tax). For most of us, it's withheld by our employer. For those who are self employed or own a business, in most cases the IRS would come and seize your shit if you protested and refused to pay taxes. I think the only way you could get away with it, as a late friend did. He was self employed, did construction and handyman work, and only accepted payment in cash or check (in small amounts, under $10K). Didn't report any income, so he was below the Radar, but I wonder how long that would have lasted if he didn't pass away? Maybe when he went to file for Social Security or Medicare they would eventually catch him?
