I will be more than happy to tell you that my percentage this year is 0% and will be until the government reduces spending and starts acting more responsibly with taxpayer money.

If you paid a higher percentage you have a right to complain, otherwise you are just being whiney and disingenuous. By the time we took our deductions we paid 17.8%. I'm okay with their 19% and, trust me, we earned nowhere near that much.

Some of the highest earning corporations in this country paid "0" in taxes. Some were even given million dollar subsidies.

They should be paying ZERO income based tax.

I too have refused to pay income based taxes for years.... What are they going to do, throw me in jail? and cost them, what they already spent on other frivolous things?


After being audited twice in the 90's, I have not paid a dime since. All the audits did, was educate me about what they look for and what throws a red flag.
