Paying taxes with tears in my eyes knowing what they're paying for - disappearing innocent people to a concentration camp in El Salvador. What have we become?

A country of KKKristians worshipping a false idol who embodies EVERYTHING the Bible says is evil while possessing NONE of the virtues the Bible says you need to have. Claiming to be devout followers of Jesus but actions and beliefs 100% in opposition to EVERYTHING Jesus preached.

US is lost. US people are not competent enough to remove this felon President. So he gets at least four years to enrich himself and friends and to destroy democracy. Than he goes for a third term. US is lost for the free world.

Russia and Nazi Germany. The question everyone is afraid to ask is how long does a person or family remain in a country fighting an authoritarian system that holds all the reins of power (perhaps indefinitely), when do States start talking about secession, or when do you start to run for your life?

I have literally been thinking about this every day, for the last 10 years. And I’m still here, tho I wish I would’ve left. On top of losing all my freedom, and watching everyone not white lose theirs, as a woman I have to be concerned with rape and sexual assault too. Good times.

Personally if I had owed taxes when I filed, I wouldn’t have bothered to pay them. Let them send me letters then I’ll sign up for a payment plan giving them the least amount of $$ possible every month until it ages out. Yes there is interest but it’s taking a stand.

Taxes is another weapon we can use. Those that have taxes taken out - max out your exemptions and apply for future payments. Then don't make them. Seniors that pay quarterly/yearly - simply stop if they mess with Social Security and Medicare. Work outages can grind things to a halt. We fight!

When we middle class make more money we end up paying more. Unlike the millionaire and billionaire we can’t just fork out 10-20k or more at a snap of the finger and have zero worries. We should be paying less and those bastards paying more!!!

I'm feeling the same way today. I'm sick to my stomach. Why won't someone put a stop to it?!?! I'm protesting & calling & emailing. I even emailed the Supreme Court today! ☺️😑😪🤮

You have become your worst nightmare. Because you didn’t believe it could ever happen. You got careless of democracy.

Resist. Don’t pay. Sequester the money for the day you need it. Write a letter to the IRS about why you’re not paying. nwtrcc.org/resist/how-t...

It is a real slide down into depravity, isn’t it? And yes, I know as a white person, my experience of America is not how it has been for everyone. Hate & “othering” is part of the human psyche, yet we aim, or at least we have aimed to let the better parts of our nature come through. 💔Truly shameful.

When white colonizers arrived and slaughtered some it's citizens and brought diseases to kill others and stole all the land and started making anyone else that came pay and wear a suit and say thank you or else you're an illegal immigrant. offensive question for ACTUAL (Native) Americans 💙

It's not America, it's Malignant Narcissists. We need to screen them out of Politics because they think in inverse conscience and perverse logic and practice recreational cruelty. The greater good and rule of law are not within their capabilities. This disorder is rampant in the .1% and their ppl.
