Related: Robert Reich posted earlier today that Tesla paid ZERO taxes on $5 billion in sales (earnings?), so that’s just fucking great.

    We can't. Taxes are deducted automatically by employers. Tax season is really just "donation season" for the tax preparation industry

    Yes there is. You can claim however many you need to make sure nothing is automatically removed. Most people can't budget though so it's a bad idea in general when they get that huge bill once a year.

    However talking about not paying anymore? Yep, go for it. I'm tempted to just pay my local and property taxes and say fuck federal taxes until shit improves.

    How do I stop paying taxes? They are automatically deducted from my paychecks before I see any money myself. Also stores will refuse to sell to me if I don't pay sales tax.

    Assuming you're on a W2, add deductions until your tax per paycheck is 0. You'll get a bill for the full amount next time you file. You're free to not pay it, get charged huge fines, and possibly end up in federal prison like Nico198x apparently wants you to.
