As can be expected, of someone who has no investment nor interest in the wellbeing of society.
We’re at the point in wealth concentration where you can just look at someone and tell when they think poor people should be slaves. He looks like the Monopoly Man.
I don’t know any EU country, that doesn’t do the taxes for their employed citizens. You normally only need to amend your taxes for stuff outside of your salary. The US truly is not a first world country it seems.
Americans you know you could just eat him right? He’s not out running anyone.
He’s not too much more massive than 150kg. I bet we could get at least a 175 m toss with a trebuchet, which should be enough.
No thanks, cannibalism is disgusting. I won’t be eating any people as long as planet Earth has plenty of tasty animals that feed primarily on vegetation.
If you meant to suggest that the person should be murdered, just say that instead of suggesting more disgusting things like cannibalism.
With enough seasoning and the right prep he would make good jerky, it would be like the natural evolution of mummy jerky. It’s about sending a message, full circle kinda thing.
Billy Long, President Trump’s nominee to lead the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), is under increased scrutiny following disclosures that he used recent campaign donations to repay a personal loan from his unsuccessful 2022 Senate campaign.
President Donald Trump’s choice for Internal Revenue Service (IRS) director just had his six-figure debt paid off by campaign donors whose firms have significant, often contentious business before the tax agency he would lead, according to federal records reviewed by the Lever.
In new campaign finance filings, Long disclosed an outstanding personal loan of $130,000 that he had made to his failed 2022 US Senate campaign. The dormant Senate campaign committee had raised less than $36,000 in the last two years, which could have forced Long to absorb the losses on the loan.
But after Trump named Long to head the IRS, the committee suddenly raked in nearly $137,000 in less than three weeks in January — money that Long then used to remunerate himself, according to disclosure documents filed this week.
At least one-third of the money came from donors working at firms in the tax consultancy industry or involved in major tax-related legal battles.

Note that last one, and how Long is moving budget from free filing to auditing support.
Seems like a good time to stop paying taxes.
Wouldn’t that be a cool boycott against this administration? No taxation without representation as they used to say…
You have to be rich to do that!
you’re still paying taxes?
Graft and corruption
Is that Boss Hogg?
Nah man, Boss Hoggs is dead
If everyone stops paying taxes what the fuck are they going to do about it?
Almost all taxes are collected from the paycheck before you even get your hands on it. The filing is mostly for the tax return on the overpayment. They’ve already thought of it. How you gonna stop paying?
My 1099 jobs I’m supposed to pay the taxes.
My W2 jobs, I just set allowances to like 20 so at least the bare minimum is being taken out.
By adjusting my W2. It’s not fucking rocket science.
I’m self employed and none of my pay gets withheld for taxes.
Good luck then! Actually curious to see how it will work out.
Yeah… I thought about not paying taxes last April but I don’t want to draw unwanted attention to myself. Did the IRS have a bunch of people let go? Yes. Does that mean that they don’t have enough staff to realize I didn’t pay and come after me? Maybe I don’t want to find out. I’m self employed through my own LLC and I don’t know enough about taxes to do them on my own anymore and I have to pay someone to help me anyway, so the free software wouldn’t have helped much. Last April was the first time I had to do this, prior to that I’d been an employee at a company that withheld taxes.
I mean, you don’t have your money, you bank does.
Just change some numbers and “thank you for paying you taxes, a additional 50% tip has been automatically applied”
Cash it out beforehand then. The bank has no right to keep your money if you want it out.
Too late its open sourced
The open-source repository relies on internal APIs at the IRS. It’s not really meant to be run by your average John Doe.
This hurts poor people. Why should he care?
Oh… awesome. That’s great
Whatever; the IRS website is hot garbage. It’s a major PITA to navigate; I was never even able to successfully verify my identity to be able to use it.
Nothing of value was lost.
Impressive to be able to say all this with Intuit’s cock in one’s mouth.
The words came from the dick. It’s just that technically the words did come out of his mouth.
Fuck. I used it for the first time last year and it was incredibly easy. Now I have to go back to being charged by TurboTax for something that should be automatic and free.
Freetaxusa.com is another good one.
Still cost money for us to file. Not totally free.
Better than paying Intuit to lobby for you to have to pay Intuit.
Federal is free, state is reasonably cheap.
One thing I didn’t mention, TurboTax has forgotten our historical tax information twice. That’s when we finally kicked them to the curb. Freetaxusa has been solid and quicker to use. Plus a few Intuit. Oh and ban lobbying already.
OVER HALF the States have the software already installed to be able to provide FREE state filing DIRECTLY on their websites…but can’t because they’re trapped in a contract with Intuit/The “Free-File” Alliance
cash.app taxes is another: OKish.
IRS provides a guide to file for free. Some state revenue departments provide similar guides.
I believe it’s $15 for state filing but free otherwise. Even this free IRS program would have you file state taxes separately.
I used CreditKarma the entire time they offered their program and tried CashApp after they bought it from CK. I believe it’s still completely free but the process is annoying as you have to at least partially use the CashApp app on your phone to log in.
There have been other free filing options before. Just not sure how they’re going to be affected.

I used this before I knew about direct file.
Send them paper, that’s their problem.
If you’re owed a refund, it’ll be your problem as they fired most of their state and it’ll take 3 months to process
Paper filing is free and just as easy as the direct file service
