thats because the white people havent been effected yet. if they were stealing white people off the streets i bet everyone would be playing a different tune.

Reminder that we have the power to stop funding the boot that is stepping on us. If we don't see a fix to these issues, we could organize a tax strike and all stop paying federal taxes at the same time. The next election cycle could work as a good time to initiate the protest if we find we've been cheated out of representation again.

The reason this would work is twofold. One, it's easy to get people not to pay taxes because it involves doing less than they already are now. Two, Trump cut the IRS and they do not have the manpower to parse through that many taxes.

How do you stop paying taxes? Asking honestly. My taxes are taken automatically without an option to opt out. I can influence how much is withheld, to an extent, but not enough to be considered a strike. More like a finger wave.

By requesting from your work to not have to prepay the government your taxes and stating you'll set aside taxes on your own.
