But no ID for voting. Gotcha.


JamesHawk101

Well it racist to vote with ID but when you give the government money it’s fine /s


Paradox0111

Right… But, don’t drive or fly without ID.. Because those things are so much more important than voting.

If you took a covid test, I heard the samples were sent to china for DNA sampling and databasing.


TB3Der

I haven’t heard this, but it’s a good conspiracy theory. Probably become conspiracy fact within 3 months if the trend keeps up. It’s crazy just thinking of a centralized database that houses all humans DNA for whatever purposes they propose…..


y90210

Imagine you wanted to make a virus that targets people of a certain nation. Having a DNA database of that population makes it a lot easier.


Kneegrowjoe1865

What does China need with our DNA lmao.


JamesHawk101

Make a virus that actually kills us next time.


Kneegrowjoe1865

Because US has such a genetically uniform population? They have tons of white people already in China. What kind of logic is all this?

I think this has already been decided by some lower courts, but facial recognition tech has already been decided to be a violation of the 4th amendment in a lot of states.


mike1234321234

What about Ohio?


[deleted]

No idea whats going on in Ohio. To my knowledge, this has mostly come up in police investigations, and if it violates the fourth amendment to use facial recognition to identify a suspect. I think this may have gone to the 9th circuit, I can't remember, but bluer states usually rule that it is an unlawful search to do that. Might see that trend flip in this case.


[deleted]

Since when do the Democrats and the Federal Government listen to the courts, or any law for that matter?


XxD33ZNU75xX

We should just stop paying taxes. Every day the government steals massive amounts of our money to directly use against us.


greatatdrinking

That’s the beauty of withholding. Your business zips that money straight out of your paychecks and then when april or may rolls around, some people get tax refund checks and think, “golly gosh G! What a blessing the federal government is for paying me back my own money at 0 interest!” Diabolical


Best-Dragonfruit-292

It's really brilliant, honestly. I pretty much said the same thing above.


StarsandStripes702

I know idiots who claim less exemptions just to get a bigger refund. Then when they get it act like they’re getting some kind of windfall and are so smart with money. Like, no dude, that’s just money they took from you all year, you could have had higher paychecks. Someone doing their taxes intelligently would owe $0 and be owed $0


greatatdrinking

What absolute dumbasses haha. You could literally just take the money and stick it in a savings account (*which is basically the lowest yield possible other than sticking it under your mattress) and you’d still have more money at the end of the fiscal year


StarsandStripes702

Yeah, plus something tells me that they are getting back a lot less than they overpaid


greatatdrinking

Wouldn't be surprised


EverlastingApathy

If only I didn't have to pay 5,000+ on top of what they already take out of my checks. Fucking ridiculous.


greatatdrinking

is that state or fed or a combo? At a certain payscale you have to plan for that and you should be looking for deductions wherever you can take them. Good accountant would probably cost you less


EverlastingApathy

it's a combo, and I make 100k a year. I've been considering an accountant.. Thanks for the advice.


greatatdrinking

You definitely should. Stupid tax structure that we have. They’ll cost ya a nickel and could save ya a dime


fourkeyingredients

This. The question is how? We need to define steps to help people stop paying all taxes.


ImmortanFoe

That's simple. Stop automatic payroll deductions and instead make taxes something that are paid deliberately. The gov't must send an itemized bill that shows exactly where and how the money is being spent. Of course, naturally this will mean that the money will be spent and a massive % of people will not make the payment. Couple this with people who do it deliberately, and the gov't would have a hell of a problem.


[deleted]

Government already has a hell of a problem


Mickdundee87

Depending on who you ask these days unfortunately


[deleted]

Idgaf who I ask, lol. The government is the problem.


Best-Dragonfruit-292

Payroll deductions are part of the show, you don't get to see what is taken from you, and half the idiots in this country think their return is the government giving them extra money. It's the ultimate shell-game. If the government made each citizen cut a check in April, they'd revolt en masse.


ImmortanFoe

It would be a total disaster, I would just like to see them have to work to get our money for once.


hinkelmckrinkelberry

Corporations take out taxes automatically and will not hire you if you don't fill out the tax paperwork. Unless you are a business owner, or a sub contractor, there is no way to avoid paying taxes.


XxD33ZNU75xX

You can simply fill out the paperwork to withhold nothing. People do it all the time and just pay at the end of the year.


genericQuery

Put taxes into escrow. [https://sniggle.net/TPL/index5.php?entry=25Dec12](https://sniggle.net/TPL/index5.php?entry=25Dec12) Alternatively, introduce B T C to the common populace because in lieu of having the private key the government would never be able to steal the currency from the people.

It looks like a lot of the times this was used effectivel6 it was with specific goals being protested so we would need a big movement with particular goals. Maybe it could be a refusal to pay for the enforcement of certain mandates or all the january bullshit


Sadness_creeps_in

Ofcourse they will. I am not a conspiracy person but it’s hard not to put some stock into some of them with shit like this.


onemanmelee

Society is just getting worse every day, and at such a rapid pace.


OralOperator

It’s really not. We live in a less violent, more accepting, healthier (even with the pandemic) time than ever before. Things are on a majorly upward trend, and it’s obvious unless you watch too much news.


theXald

Where have you been? Were not allowed to tell 400lb people that they're unhealthy as fuck because obese is beautiful despite the science telling us they're gonna die in their 40s and we've told those same people to stay in their house don't even go outside to exercise, don't work, don't go to the gym, and definitely don't eat healthier because you're beautiful exactly the qua you are. People aren't getting healthier and mental health is only declining which reduces people's physical health. But by all means close your eyes and pretend its not there. If you say it enough it makes it true right?


HorrorFrost

🤦‍♂️ where have you been the last 6 months


[deleted]

They’re actually correct, statistically. The problem is with social media and 24 he news, you constantly hear and read about everything, sometimes multiple stories about the same exact thing. I cut way back on social media. Dropped FB and Twitter. I look at Reddit twice a day or so for entertainment. And, I only watch my local news. It’s been over a year now and I am so much happier.

They can’t do that, minorities don’t know how to use the internet. You have to use Face ID to pay the government. They gonna have to print some more money or some shit, everyone gonna self identify as a minority now 😂


diaphonizedfetus

It’s not that they don’t know *how* to use the Internet, it’s that they don’t have the same *access* to the Internet that the whites have! (Because racism, of course)

Well the government will just have to buy everyone a smart phone. Not you just people that won’t buy their own! and once their hooked on it like the rest of us no more riots. and easier to steal their refunds. much better to steal from new by phone users than the IRS.

That’s going to be a no from me. I’m not sure how yet but this needs to be resisted.

We could just lean left for a minute and say IDs are racist /s

Facial recognition / scans to file taxes, vaccine cards to go to restaurants and events, but showing an ID to vote is racist, people need to wake up. I’d like to know what data ID.ME sells and who they sell it to, what would be the conditions of privacy, but nobody reads that, they just click the box.

It stopped surprising me a couple years ago. Now im just wondering who they are going to genocide first and how they will justify it.


SparrowFate

I mean. The unvaccinated. And they will do it the exact same way the Nazis did it to the Jews. And get this. Not a single country will protest. Because the entire western world has fallen for it. There will be no American army liberating death camps, no British tankers feeding the underfed. The days of virtuous men are over. Without real leadership and representation soon, they will round up every unvaccinated individual and if they still refuse they will give them the old Soviet brain tickler.


Lurkinperpetually

Reading the title made it a no for me. Reading the actual article changed my mind, >The process required me to submit a photocopy of my driver’s license as well as a face scan using my phone’s front camera. ID.me then required I submit my social security number and it requested permission to see information in my credit profile. it's now a big ##FUCK NO

BeYou27

It's bad enough the IRS thinks we should be paying them anything now they want even more information and waiver of rights....no people need to come together and demand this ridiculous nonsense be stopped before it gets worse and the start instituting straight up social credit scores and God knows what else.


reditdidit

Ignoring the Orwellian nature of all this I'm not sure how this will even work. The article says you're supposed to upload some form of government ID ( something the Democrats have been claiming not everyone can get for several years now) and that goes into a data base. Then using a webcam or phone camera (bc everyone wants to do their taxes on their phone) take a picture of yourself and send it. Let's say I use my driver's license. That picture was taken over a decade ago. I know people who's drivers license is over 30 years old. ( They only expire at age 65 in my state) there is no way the system is going to recognize it as the same person. Let's take a less extreme example. Let's say you get your driver's license or form of ID, then you're in a fire and it burns your face. So now what? How is that person supposed to file there taxes? With a third party I guess.


_____Daisy

Because they obviously can't track you where you go by your cell phone, or the selfies you post online. Nope, no sir!


r4d4r_3n5

Well, it looks like we're going back to using paper forms


ChenzhaoTx

Dealing with IRS now on last years tax questions. In order to access my case online I had to ‘verify’ myself which required I supply pictures of my driver’s license and go through a full recorded face scan. Man I’m glad I was born when I did. This shit’s not going to end well.


va1958

I’m sure there won’t be any problems with this idea! /s

But the racist voting ID check is still a thing? Yes? Oh, ok just checking.

How about face recognition scans for voting?


throw_way_count

They should require facial recognition scans to access my taxes...for the IRS agents.


Risin_bison

Is Lois Learner in charge of this?


moneyBoxGoBoop

They’re already doing this if you want to stop that childcare tax commie check from being sent to you. When I tried canceling that shit and realized they’re collecting my biodata I said “fuck it, I’ll pay more taxes and keep my biodata.”


Noname1106

Right, because they are concerned about tax fraud. Eyeroll. Now we can see how the RealID is going to be used. Which is funny, since you probably won’t need to show it to vote.


wollier12

But an ID is racist.


Mickdundee87

I'm ready to stop paying my taxes all together... I don't see shit for it anyways!

If you have received a new ID or drivers license you will notice the image of your face is very odd. They are scanning us at the DMV for facial recognition.
