Re: I don't think i want to pay income tax anymore.
ok, don't make an initial judgement of me by my calling name. i am a cpa and i do make my living by people filing tax returns. i see such a tremendous amount of waste of our tax dollars. i see lower income people that scate the rules so they can get earned income credit on their tax return. I have seen people making 10,000 dollars a year and get 6,500 tax refund because of this. the earned income credit started out as a reimbursement to low income people that had children for the social security tax withheld on their paycheck. to a large amount of people, it is being spent on vacations, large drug purchases, cars, boyfriends cars, and everything else that doesn't help the children in any way possible.
the earned income credit is only good for 1 or 2 children so when someone has more than 2 children, they let cousins or whoever claim those children so they can get the credit illegally. a lot of these people work underground, get food stamps, live in government housing, get their medical paid for plus get their $6,000 refund every year and live better than i do.
is the government corrupt....yes! do our tax dollars get wasted,,,,,yes! is taxation legal..... well there are lots of people in prison who don't think so. do i like paying taxes....... hell no!
the problem i think is for those people that do not want to pay taxes is to not take any benefit that our society has to offer. if you live in the country, grow your own food, make your own power, etc. then you don't need society or what it has to offer. if you want criminals locked up, a secure border, roads to drive on, air conditioning, hershey bars, hospitals, etc., then you have to pay the piper. the average person has no idea how much is subsidized by our income tax.
