| If you owe federal taxes, you are not alone. |
Y'all voted for this.
When Republicans are upset over the cuts that are impacting their lives.
They seriously believe President Donald J. Trump's actions were going to affect the perceived enemies they deduced through endless gaslighting from far right media agitators.
Everyone is affected.
Thanks to the policies of Trump and former president Joe Biden, I will owe the government.
Elon Musk gets a tax break. Jeff Bezos gets a tax break. Mark Zuckerberg gets a tax break. Peter Thiel gets a tax break.
Hell, Trump gets a tax break.
Israel gets over an unprecedented amount of our taxpayer money to fund a genocide.
Federal workers are out of their jobs.
Immigrants are being detained and deported.
Transgender Americans are being discriminated against.
People who speak languages other than English are being forced to learn it.
Jewish college students are getting more privileges than other students.
Historical Black Americans are being erased from schools due to the president's determination to close the Department of Education.
Muslims are being told they are under surveillance.
Arabs are being called terrorists because they protest Israel's genocide.
More Americans are working harder for less pay and are being forced to find side hustles or second jobs.
Republicans want to make food assistance difficult by eliminating chips, soda, expensive meats and pastries.
Freedumb.
If you are a Muslim and you are always bombarded with calls to condemn terrorism, Hezbollah or Hamas, why should you pay your taxes?
If you are a former federal worker and now struggling, being forced to find employment to get unemployment or the safety net, why should you pay your taxes?
If you are transgender and are being harassed because you identify as human being and being punished for that, why should you pay your taxes?
If you are a college student and you felt the need to protest injustices in America or abroad and you were dismissed from campus, why should you pay your taxes?
A lot Republicans are slowly regretting the Trump policies.
But will it help Democrats?
No.
Democrats are more unpopular than Republicans for the first time in over 30 years. They continue to be tone deaf with their support of Israel. Allowing Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and John Fetterman (D-PA) drive the party further down with their centrist policies is turning off even the most supportive Democrats.
The unprecedented uncertainty has the Department of the Tresurary warning that millions of Americans may not file their taxes. Some may never file because the refund they're expecting is going to be low.
The IRS is bracing for a $500 billion drop in revenue as an increasing number of taxpayers could skip submitting their filings in the wake of Department of Government Efficiency layoffs, according to a report.
Taxpayer behavior has changed since President Donald Trump took office and implemented sweeping federal cuts through Elon Musk’s DOGE. As a result, the IRS has “noticed an uptick of online chatter from individuals declaring their intention to not pay taxes this year,” the Washington Post reports, citing three people with knowledge of tax projections.
It added that individuals were “wagering that auditors will not examine their accounts” amid DOGE’s plans to downsize the IRS by nearly 20 percent by May 15.
New hires in taxpayer services and enforcement divisions have been targeted and the agency has dropped investigations of high-value corporations and taxpayers, according to the newspaper. The agency employs roughly 90,000 workers total across the U.S., according to the IRS data.
