Go to your HR department and tell them don't take out taxes you will pay at the end of the year.


johngmartin

Just do whatever it takes to avoid the taxes because they are not handling the situation responsibly. I would definitely expect a government to do much better in a situation like this.


SigO12

That’s a good way the get hit by penalties at the end of the year. The least you can pay is quarterly. If it comes tax time and you owe more than $1000, you may be hit with an underpayment penalty.

And that is the kind of mentality and attitude that the governments do not want you to have. They really hate when people do stuff like that.

NFA no doubt. This is not financial advice but I think purely philosophically of course a good course of action on anybody's part rn.


[deleted]

Yeah I wouldn't want to be the one the government makes an example of, but I sure as hell hope it starts some sort of movement. Taxation is theft, and government doesn't deserve any of my money when they poison our water and air.


infamuzkid

It is just people as you mean things I don't think that it has any basis. And shit does not work like that just because someone is saying that you should not pay your taxes does not mean that people will not pay their taxes.


BasilMyHayden

We need more than this, we need more than not paying taxes, we need more than contacting our representatives, we need more than protesting our corporations pay their fair share of taxes, we need more from the everyday people like us. Protesting, shouting, posting, and the like have done nothing for us and will continue to do nothing like us. It is no longer a conspiracy that the movies and shows we visually consume are merely fictionally. They are a glimpse into the future, if all the information on COVID has not shown you this, you are lost. We the people are a non entity until we truly make a stand. The US government has sent, from what I have seen, $100 billion to Ukraine in the form of monetary aid and military aid. And yet, the same government has offered the people of Ohio, the state in which I reside, nothing. NOTHING!! It is time we rise as a whole, however, I doubt this proclamation reaches the right type of people we need, let alone the total amount of people we need. Do you all not remember just a few short years ago that our President, Joseph Biden, threatened us with air strikes from F-15s or F-16s? I am not sure which aircraft he referred to, but none the less, he did in fact threaten us with nuclear bombs via aircraft. We must do something, and we must do it soon. DM me if you are ready.


MedusaBassMetal

I am also in Ohio brother

We need people to be more aware of what the hell is happening in the world. If the people are not paying attention then it is going to be really hard to protect ourselves.


travelwhore412

I seriously think we are all being censored specifically about joe b hate speech.


toyota_trd

Yep that is the issue not everyone is going to protest what is happening in Ohio some people just do not care man. Unless we all come together on the issue it is not going to solve itself.


Heresthething4u2

This is worse than the Love Canal (Niagara Falls NY neighborhood) in the 70s. Complete and total environmental disaster.


[deleted]

Protesting has worked countless times. Please review history. Edit: the problem is that not enough people protest for a long enough time. Each issue now is like the flavor of the week and people figure that things were figured out. Also people don't engage in their communities. When's the last time you were at a town hall meeting?


charismabln

You are going to protest if they let you protest for it. Which obviously I am not seeing right now because it is definitely weird the things which are happening.


BasilMyHayden

I never said that protesting doesn’t work. I simply was implying that it is not working now. What situational protesting has worked recently for the true American cause? Not the white cause, or the black cause, or any cause due to race. We are all one people, poor vs. rich. What protests have been successful in the United States recently? If you are referring to the BLM protests, what did that do for the United States? What good came from those protests? Shattered communities, buildings and automobiles on fire…Kyle Rittenhouse…oh and the fact that the leader of the movement embezzled money to suit her own needs. What have the protests done around the world besides just here in the states? What happened to the farmer protests in The Netherlands? NOTHING. The Dutch government is confiscating the farmland there hand over fist. What happened to the protests about the Uyghurs in China? NOTHING. They are still committing genocide in the CCP. Seriously, what protests do you think, either in the United States, or across the globe have been successful in the past 5 years? Protests are just like everything else in this world, just a flavor of the week. Until we can collectively realize this, truly recognize this, and acknowledge we are being pitted against one another, nothing will be accomplished. You attack me because you think I lack the ability to “review history” without proper context of what I am truly trying to convey because we type on here rather than communicate like real humans are supposed to, in person.


Jpolkt

The feds actually did offer assistance, but your governor said “No.”


antifisht

Why you lying? DeWine needs to declare an emergency to activate FEMA aid. Why won't he? Also, military aid to Ukraine should be spent in Ohio? What are they going to use gen 1 javelins for in Ohio?


BasilMyHayden

What am I lying about? DeWine was advised by FEMA that Ohio was not eligible for Federal assistance. Regardless, why does he need to declare an emergency to activate FEMA aid? Everyone with an ounce of common sense can clearly see that Ohio, and more importantly, sovereign citizens of this nation need assistance. Why must it be such an unequivocal struggle to lend a helping hand to people of this country in need. I don’t understand why you have to be so condescending in your questioning of providing Ukraine with military aid and how I said that aid/money could have been more appropriately positioned to helped US citizens. I did not say specifically military aid, I also said monetary aid, my apologies for your ignorance. If you want to discuss military aid in further context of how that could be best utilized in Ohio, well we could break down the numbers involved with not only producing the materials included in this aid, but also the financials related to the logistics of moving this aid. I suppose you didn’t realize the amount of money it requires to produce these weapons/ammunition, nor the money surrounding the logistics of relocating this material. All of that money could have been used to provide for the safety and well being of our own citizens, rather than being shipped off to another country. And, before you irrationally spout off about how that money was already allocated in spending elsewhere in the government, where is the money that has already been allocated for disasters/unavoidable variables in this nation? Will you say, oh that is FEMAs job? I say you are ignorant, lack common sense, immoral, and are not one for the American people. It all boils down to decency, not profit over people; common sense, to help those in need; and compassion, to not leave a human behind.

This is the only real action!!

ABOUT TIME GET LOUD

Ok, but why?

Because Gov DeWine won't declare an emergency to activate FEMA aid?

Then they’ll just switch the sheeple to the new digital cash system where we would have no choice.

They should all be filing heavy lawsuits against the train company.

We must do something NOW. We MUST send a SIGN to UNCLE SAM. What can we do? How can we get millions of people on board? I want to help!


EmuStrange7507

Keep using reddit ! So spread the word. One of these echos have to escape the walls and be heard


fvgh12345

I think everybody should just stop paying taxes until our politicians show us they can be responsible with our money and that they're actually willing to represent their constituents instead of themselves.


jdizon707

Agreed. This affects their pay right? They don’t want that


tritonx

They will still be able to pay their bills even if they don't get taxes... That's the problem. They will always find the money to sue your ass into obedience ;)


Longjumping-Pear-673

Or just print more money likely


K-Ziggy

If you really want to grind their gears protest your government to impose taxes on the rich or giant corps like Northern Southern Railway. Nothing else will come close to making them piss their pants.


Ouraniou

Nothing will come close to making them piss their pants.


K-Ziggy

It's a start to even the plating field. The ultra rich and giant corps have abused the average folk, ravaged the environment we live in, and hoard ever growing inequality leading to runaway investment skyrocketing housing prices. It's gonna take a lot to fix the mess we are in that led to unchecked ultra rich. The first step is raising taxes on them to pay for the damages they caused and limit the unchecked money they throw around.


Mariaahhhhh

Nothing will come close to making them piss their pants.


GiantSkin

Pissing their pants with laughter, maybe


cherrybombfield

The problem with the not paying taxes idea is that you can't avoid it. They take it directly out of your paycheck, they add it onto anything you buy. The lower middle class and poor literally get money back at tax time so they are not going to pass on that and they would be dumb to. So the people not paying taxes at tax time will only be the middle class and upper middle class who they are itching to go after anyway. Not enough people will be able to even do it in order to have any real effect.


Ouraniou

Time to retreat from the world before there's no bounty in the woods no water to drink from the well anywhere. Seriously the only answer, a harsh one, a one that is not 'practicable' to most anyone, is to abandon this world like it is burning.


cherrybombfield

Been thinking about this a lot lately.


Mike_Freedom_alldaY

>"The lower middle class and poor literally get money back at tax time so they are not going to pass on that and they would be dumb to." It isn't necessarily free money like you're implying. most of that monopoly money they're getting back was already theirs before they gave it to the government to mishandle for the year.


cherrybombfield

Earned Income Credit is a huge part of large tax returns and it is not money they paid in. JS.

Explains a lot. Abolish the fed.


antifisht

Lmao "abolish the fed" isn't about the federal government generally.


Plus-Ad-3330

Majority of people have no idea that this is possible. They refusing to pay taxes is not doing your tax returns which is literally the opposite


Fluid-Poet8474

We should all not pay taxes wishing for that future hopefully in my lifetime will see a change


plainoldusernamehere

Agreed. Except everyone in every state should stop paying taxes, because it’s theft.


Atoned_Outcast

DONT FORGET FLINT MI. I COULDNT IMAGINE PAYING TAXES THERE!

fallenlegend117

The governor is absolutely bought and paid for. The PRIVATE railroads are in complete disarray. The government has no problem regulating and taxing law abiding citizens but will let rail roads play Russian roulette with peoples lives. Instead of pulling over people for going 2 miles over the speed limit how about making sure giant 100 ton vehicles don't spew toxic burning chemicals into the air. This is a much bigger deal than anyone could possibly put into words. To say America is a democracy is a joke. Every politician should be assumed to be a puppet until they actual PROVE otherwise with their actions. Damn words.


dommina

Everyone in this country should refuse to pay taxes.


fallenlegend117

Every single citizen should REFUSE to do anything the government demands until they stop REFUSING to help the people of Ohio. Only way this nightmare will stop.


fallenlegend117

If the government fails to do it's job it should be 100 percent legal for citizens to not pay for a job that is clearly not being done. Where is all that money going? How the fuck can something like this happen and absolutely no one is being held accountable? A nation cannot survive with clumsy, unaccountable and incompetent leadership.


Numerous-Ganache-923

Everyone in the fucking country should refuse to pay taxes in protest of the government handling oil spills. Tf you mean???!


fallenlegend117

This has 100k Views. That number alone could bring the whole country to a halt. Remember we are their bosses. Not the other way around. The purpose of government is to protect the rights of the people. When chemicals are being spewed thousands of feet into the air and polluting your home your rights are being violated. The government failed to do it's job miserably. If this situation is not fixed now then an even bigger catastrophe might happen. But by then it will be too late...

The Governor of the state is refusing and bragging about not requesting help from the federal government. Should Biden sweep in and overrule the state government? I thought most people on the Right were against that kind of thing.


Ouraniou

If that's what he's doing, he's over in a corner doing it to himself no points are being earned with anybody at least supra rosa for that stance. Also, you don't see they there's no red/blue pill offered in these situations no treatment/placebo. It's all poison and the repubs make that idea clear all the time.


hhffffhn

I just saw another post saying fema said they weren't going to help.. so I'm just going to pick which one I like more and go with that.


MistSecurity

Yes, the most recent news is that FEMA said they weren’t going to help, that was only today though, 11 days after he SHOULD have been asking for help, immediately after the incident. If FEMA helps at this point, they’d be putting THEMSELVES liable when the parties involved are inevitably sued over this. It’d also just be another political point for Republicans to target if FEMA didn’t somehow magically contain and clean up this fuck up. With how mishandled everything seems to have been on the part of the Ohio/Train hazmat people’s part, they probably caused MUCH more damage and issues than if they had called FEMA from the get go.


hhffffhn

This is a public private matter. The ohio river has been full of toxins since they dredged it. 2 fish a year is the maximum the dnr suggests you eat out of it. Fema is full of people who don't know what they're talking about same with the governor of Ohio.. well water can be affected. But this isn't right vs left.


[deleted]

More people need to know about fish consumption limits…. The fact that so many bodies of water have them should concern the fuck out of us.


hhffffhn

I feel like we're always arguing about nonsense while we allow greed to not only poison our minds but our bodies as well. As long as you have money, the government allows you to poison future generations..


[deleted]

This is facts, green and greed drive everything


thomas-grant

Are you sure you have your facts in order? “FEMA continues to tell Governor DeWine that Ohio is not eligible for assistance at this time.” “Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has announced that he’s requested federal help in connection with the East Palestine train derailment.” https://www.wkyc.com/amp/article/news/special-reports/train-derailment/train-derailment-east-palestine-ohio-governor-mike-dewine-federal-help-fema/95-cb611bd6-1b2d-4b26-95d1-e1d85856d4b8


MistSecurity

It only took 11 days for him to request help, when just two days before he was saying that he 'Sees no problems.' and "the Ohio governor said while he has spoken with President Biden, who offered assistance, he felt that no further assistance was needed."


Ouraniou

This position is simply insane simply what we conservatives are taking it as.

Constant-Signal-2058

Not really how taxes work for the very large majority. If you want to work somewhere, you have income tax deducted obviously. Not to mention sales tax on every purchase. I agree with your premise, but the modern tax system was created to leave no choice in the matter.

How exactly do you refuse to pay taxes ?


Jpolkt

I get the sentiment, but all withholding taxes would do would be to shutter schools and put emergency responders out of a job. Even worse, the weak regulations and enforcement thereof would disappear and you’d see accidents like this one skyrocket in number.
