Yes, I am mad. I am really mad and I am not going to take it anymore.
I pay federal taxes and I expect to get certain benefits that have been promised to me through our representative form of government. I expect that the cars that we drive will be safe. I expect that the airplanes that we fly in will be safe and the skies that these planes travel through will be monitored and free from collisions. I expect that the water we drink and the air that we breath will be clean and pure and free from toxins. I expect that the meat that I eat will be inspected by qualified and independent food inspectors and will be deemed healthy to consume. I expect that scientific research will continue to seek to provide a cure for many of the still yet unsolved health issues that plague our country. I also expect scientific research to continue to improve the quality of our lives in so many areas. I expect that the next generation will receive an education that befits the wealthiest nation in the world and I expect that those that are less fortunate will receive the additional care and services that they need to maintain a dignified style of life.
The current administration has promised up to 2 million job cuts throughout the federal government agencies seriously impacting many of the services that we expect and count on. Trump proposes massive personnel cuts in the the Department of Financial Protection which was established by Congress after the Great Recession to protect citizens from banks’ predatory lending. This administration proposes major cuts to the Center for Disease Control ignoring the lessons learned from the calamitous federal efforts to contain the recent Covid-19 pandemic. We all watch this president clumsily salute the American flag and awkwardly praise veterans as his administration now plans to make cuts in the Department of Veterans Affairs. Trump is cutting USAID which provides food and health services to many of the poorest people around the world.
Are we going to take this sitting down? Will voting against Tulsi Gabbard or RFK, Jr. get it done despite them being confirmed anyway? Will introducing a bill in the Senate to cap out-of-pocket costs on prescription drugs get it done when this bill has no chance of passing? Will writing letters to Congress stop these abuses? Will boycotting your local Tesla dealership bring changes to this new administration?
I will tell you what we are going to do. We pay taxes to get certain government services. These services have been passed into law by previous Congresses and funding has been allocated for their execution for this year and subsequent years. We are not getting what we paid. We must not send money to the government which ignores its responsibilities to fund these projects. WE MUST STOP PAYING TAXES. We cannot do this individually. We need a massive protest and coordinated effort to end this current government. Let’s deny this government trillions of our hard earned dollars so they can no longer ignore established funding laws and do what they wish with our tax dollars.
Therefore, I propose WE STOP PAYING ALL TAXES BEGINNING APRIL 15, 2025. This is the Resistance Movement to this corrupt and illegal government. This only works if millions of Americans who oppose the current administration join forces and collectively stop paying taxes. One person stops paying taxes and they get fined. Several people stop paying taxes and they get rounded up. Millions stop paying taxes and we have a movement. We cheer for 250 years the Colonialists in Boston when threw the tea into the sea because they had no representation. Let future generations cheer us as they learn that we stopped paying taxes to a corrupt regime and brought them to their knees by refusing to pay our taxes until we were represented in this government.
Join the Resistance – DO NOT PAY TAXES ON APRIL 15, 2025.
