Tax compliance only works in this country because we voluntarily submit the forms and write the checks. If all tax returns were sent back blank, that is filed with name and other info only, the government would be given a clear shot across the bow by We The People. Of course, it will only work if more than 50% of taxpayers do this, especially the ones with money owed on their returns (you could even put the tax amount into some sort of 'escrow account' under the mattress). Now doing something like filing blank tax returns would be illegal and subject one to penalties. But we face a Hobson's Choice of penalties now. The only way such a protest would work is by word of mouth, to get the idea into people's heads now the game plan for next April 15th. This would be an 'anonymous' protest that could be epic or epic fail, but in any case no one would or should want to be the Rick Santelli of the 'file blank personal tax returns' movement.
I reduced my W-4 deductions the day the stimulus passed. The Wage slaves on W-4s can't do much. A blank form causes the IRS more work, but then they don't tell you about it for a year later and add penalties for late payment that will often be more than the tax itself. After all - you are a year late. So fill out your tax form like it should be. Use paper so a human has to look at it. Maybe make 3-5 mistakes and then file 3-5 separate amended forms - all on paper. Do not e-file. Smudge certain fields so they are legible, but unlikely to be read by OCR. You want a human looking at every page. And all perfectly legal. After all everyone makes mistakes.
We are third world now. This is a Banana Republic. In those places people hide money, misreport income, use all cash for transactions, and bribes to officials to pay lower taxes are common place, and its only a matter time till they become so here. But to benefit from that
you must become incorporated. The link explains why. Bonus is doing so will double and maybe quadruple the paperwork. Predator Don has the right track. You have to become your own small business. You must look to the IRS like two people. A Cheater - one of them, playing ball. And a poor looter/taker wage slave, cruelly exploited by that cheater. This trick lets you take a 6 figure income and turn it into two separate five figure incomes, taxed accordingly, and again its perfectly legal. Many expenses are legally deductible. Its more paperwork and hassle for you, but reducing your tax bill will be worth it.
Finally. Just Reduce your income. They have made it clear you are a slave. They have made it clear that what work you do, you do for them. Your "freedom" is what is left over after they have extracted what they want from you, and the demands will now be increasing every year. But the "poor" always seem to get the "breaks" don't they. And "Poor" is usually measured on income. This little tax/penalty doesn't apply to them, because the government will give them money to buy the insurance.
If possible, pay off or eliminate any loans, and reduce what you need. Move to a smaller house. (The American dream used to be 1200 sq ft, 3 beds and a bath. IF you were rich you had a dishwasher ) Eat out less. Cancel the cable (watch Netflix or Hulu if you need it) Grow some of your own food. Become as independent and self-sufficient as possible - so that when you become a dependent slave of the government, you are not actually so. When Peter Schiff went to OWS a woman told him that he couldn't quit - he was a go-getter- he could not help himself but to earn great piles of cash. That he was too greedy to do otherwise. We need to show them that is BS.
Find and get on as many govt programs as you can legally qualify for. We need to not just starve this beast, but Cloward-Piven it to death. After all, they have made it clear this is not your country. That people like you are not welcome here except as slaves. Its time to use the lefts own tools to bring it down ( but even if we don't, its going to happen. Lets make it happen on our schedule.) Empty the bank accounts. Cash out the IRAs ( and pay the damned 10% penalty) - its only a matter of time before they just seize and invest that money - socializing our retirement funds. Use cash whenever possible. Use prepaid credit cards like Greenbank to pay the bills where cash won't be accepted.
If you can and feel comfortable living and working abroad, go and go NOW. They have a really hard time tracking your income then. There may even be freer and better places to live now if you can fit in. And fitting in will be key.. when the dollar goes Americans are going to universally despised ( right now we are tolerated because we bring money) The "ugly American" refugees will be everywhere and unlike America - Racism is an accepted and long standing practice everywhere else in the world. In other words, if you can pass for the right color or have family, this is an option. Otherwise, make friends in a small place and prove in advance you "aren't one of THOSE Americans"
I don't know if the government or the liberals realize what they have released. That the final line in the sand was crossed. That any goodwill or tolerance we had for the liberals is gone. That in order to actually pay for this, they will have to get out the whips and chains and drop the facade that they are well meaning and generous and act like the slavers they are, and then its on.
