How about we get the politicians and rich people to pay their taxes instead of the IRS/government officials always coming up with ways to take money out of the pockets of John Q. Public?

I pay my taxes. I think we all should. Pay your fair share or get out. If you don’t like it, leave the United States. I don’t see people donating their money to pave the streets. How are they to be payed for? I actually think the $5000 or 100 sells is quite reasonable. People will always try to look for a way around taking responsibility, and it takes time for the laws to catch up to new technology. Many of the same people will also take advantage of government programs meant for people actually in need. It is a “take all I can get away with” mentality. I hope the laws are put in place soon. Stop whining.

Now if people only knew who the income tax applies to under the law.
I’ll give you a hint sections 1441, 1442, 1443, and 1461
Foriegners have income tax withheld and the withholding agent is made liable for the payment there of.

Gotta pay for all those endless wars manufactured for fun and profit between Eurasia and Oceania somehow. Be good little sheeple and you won’t miss any of that extra fleece…now this won’t hurt a bit, and you’ll feel good for having SACRIFICED your little bit due for FREEDOM and ANTITERRORISM…

Ante up, folks. This time it’s for keeps. The machine needs more grease so it can more flexibly reach deeper into your lives at your expense…

What are you babbling about? Taxes aren’t required to help fund the trappings of society. And even if they were, they would still be morally reprehensible.

If you want to call the truth bullshit, that’s your choice. But don’t do it here, because you’ll be called on it.

Oh wake the hell up, that nonsense about “morally reprehnsible” and “slavery” is just bullshit. If you want all the trappings of the society around you it’s going to have to be funded somehow. Taxes, for better or worse, help do this.

“The primary reason thereâ€™s a tax gap in the first place, according to the IRS, is that many people simply underreport their income, and pay less than the IRS thinks they owe.”

Operative word “thinks”. The primary reason there’s a tax gap is because no one has been able to control the size and scope of government.
