Paraphrasing a quote Jason Trennert from on this subject: “automatic tax withholding shouldn’t be allowed. If people had to write a check once a year for their taxes, we’d have fixed this system decades ago.”

Sad that I pay so much tax yet realize the crooks in congress dole it out to cronies and garbage programs helping no one but grifters. Triple the taxes we all pay and stil go in the hole every month.

Like trying to piss out a forest fire. Meanwhile, 7 million men between age 25 and 57 are not working and not looking for work. The cost of sending manufacturing overseas to each of us is much greater than the savings we “ enjoy” from cheap labor and imported goods. Most of the savings are not passed along to the consumer

Let’s stop all taxes and just print more money since Congress seems to think it works.

Like to keep that last image in mind when I push the button to send my pounds of flesh to the gov't in a couple hours. Try to hold off as long as possible, because it's my money that I earned, not theirs.

Easy.

Learn tax law, then use tax law to maximise refunds.

For bonus credit, learn the loopholes so that you can be poor on paper, and qualify for subsidies of all kinds.

After all, getting rich is more about how to figure out how to make others pay instead of you, than you working hard, dilligently and honestly.

Matthew is the sole tax collector in all of history that anyone has ever held in high regard.

It’s telling that even in that story it took the commands of Jesus himself to get the guy to knock it off.

Happy Tax Day!. If I was King of the US (not prince, not duke, not earrrrrl!) I'd move election day to April 16th.

Here's a great piece on the lie of higher taxes in the 1950s: https://lawliberty.org/slouching-towards-tax-day/?mc_cid=1d9a88077d&mc_eid=2f20a95d8e

Love the last pic! You should add another pic-an image of the guillotine in France 1790-as a reminder to the thieves and tyrants of what can happen when we really lose patience with their madness.

Actually, the IRS doesn’t mind if you die because then it gets to collect death taxes.

Use all the Cal-Maine dead chickens for feathers. If you run out of tar melt all the candles you got for Christmas/birthdays over your lifetime.
