How do you stay out of jail? I agree with your sentiment, but I pay all my taxes because I'd rather not be put in prison for a long time. There are ways to legally work around taxes for the most part but there is a lot of learning to be done there. Again, I'd like to know how long you have refrained from paying taxes and how you have stayed out of jail, thanks.
it's not illegal to not pay taxes!
From CNBC "Here's what happens if you don't pay taxes"
It's time to get serious about standing up for what we know is right ... and putting our money where our mouths are.
I haven't paid/filed for two years 2017 and 2018. I actually am considering filing for this year (made less than $10,000).
I think, if possible, if you can file and not pay taxes it is better than not filing.
But either way, I am not paying taxes until the government stops spending so much money on the military and starts working to reverse climate change.
Respect.
I don't see in that CNBC article where it says it's okay to not pay taxes, though. They list the consequences, which include hefty fines and potential tax liens or seizure of property. There can be jail time as well. I'm not sure how you interpret that as saying there's no consequence?
If you are interested in what's happening with the climate, I highly recommend the following resource: https://geoengineeringwatch.org .
ha no I don't see this as consequence less ;however, I am confident of two things:
1: I do not have to pay taxes for 2018 (under income limit) and using proper tax avoidance strategies can legally never pay taxes again.
and
2: If I was sent to prison I have a good chance of not dying.
I don't want to go to jail, but I can't live in a country where our elections are sabotaged, we have a police state, and we are actively progressing climate change.
