Okay, I can deal with being told I’m wrong about stuff, and I’m fine with being the scapegoat for why those apps have to report things now (thats 100% true, not just me of course but so many people do that), and I don’t mind being called poor, or a tax cheat… But one thing I am certainly not is a Libertarian (or SovCit)… Perhaps if i had to settle on a less than ideal term i’d say “tax protester”… but even that is a bit of a stretch, I’m not against taxes, I’m against convuluted and corrupt systems that are clearly appeasing private companies (turbotax) instead of doing what their actually supposed to.
And yeah maybe it is a bit of some kind of “puffery” but my point is not that I dont want to pay taxes or that I hate the government, My point is the IRS is nearly incapable of going after even blantant tax cheats, forget about folks like me who just don’t file, and of course the obvious solution is that if they already know what we owe they could (and many other countries do) simply send a bill… but you know who would hate that, the rich folks who are able to take advantage of how complicated our tax system is so they can game the system.
