What do you mean, “employer”? Anyone who fills that form, by definition, doesn’t work in the US. The form certifies that your income is not associated with a US business.
Now someone tells them “No, that’s not how that works at all, you will definitely still need to pay taxes no matter what form you file, and the people who say otherwise are wrong.”
They will not listen, of course, the only answers that will enter their head are the ones they want to hear, that they are correct and are one little bit of paperwork away from never paying taxes again.
Cosplaying as someone wealthy in court, none of that bullshit flies without the high priced attorneys who can actually strategize and execute delay and obstructive tactics to manipulate the court.
I mean, taxes are optional. You really don’t have to pay them. Lots of people don’t. There will be consequences sure, but you can totally choose not to pay them. And you don’t even have to fill out a form.
You still need a job to survive. You just need to find one that doesn't require a social security number and pays under the table. You know, like the jobs that all the immigrants do.
A lot of undocumented immigrants have jobs that require SSNs. As weird as it sounds, many of them pay taxes. They get illegally obtained or forged SSNs and pay the same as you or me.
Sad to see down votes for the truth. The feds print the money so they don’t absolutely NEED to collect it first. But if money going out is more than the money coming in through taxes, it increases the supply and decreases the value of each dollar.
I don’t. Every time a child is burned alive, every time hundreds are made homeless by a drone strike, every time a book is banned, every time an innocent is murdered by police, I’m part of that, I funded that. I hate it.
It’s not like I get to choose what is spent on, and yeah a shitload of it goes towards child murder. More of my money is spent hurting people than helping them.
If it makes you feel better, that’s not true. More discretionary spending is on “defense.” But roughly 2/3 of the full budget is mandatory spending which largely is social security, Medicare, medicaid, TANF, and SNAP and also includes education and transportation as smaller pieces.
Yup. Like with most things related to governing, it’s necessary, but exploitable. It needs regulation, but the bigger it gets, the harder it is to regulate, but if we made it smaller, it wouldn’t be effective enough.

With zero taxes modern society would fall and the outcomes don’t change for the better either.
lawlessness would rule the land
industrial capacity to produce books wouldn’t exist, so bookbinding would revert to artisan level so there likely wouldn’t be a book to ban because there wouldn’t be enough of them to ban.
“police” would be paid/fed by the local strongman that would happily kill you for whatever arbitrary reason he or bossman wanted.
homelessness would be so shockingly common it would be the norm and not the exception
All of the problems you listed would be minuscule compared to finding something to eat or a dry place to lay your head to sleep where you would be safe.
Depends. I don't really like to pay taxes because you have no real say where you tax money goes. Like when there is a huge pothole in front of my house but you read in the newspaper that they rip apart apartments where people live and build new luxury apartments for the ultra rich, i'm like... Cool stuff.
Or you're american and pay taxes becuse the most important thing is that you have another 13 billion dollar airplane carrier, because 20 or however many aren't enough.
