Taxation without representation
More than ever do I feel that this fedgov offers NOTHING of value to me. It's actions and words are opposite the Constitution, they are not acting to fulfill there oaths of office to any degree and in many cases are openly working to negate or remove the very blueprint which defines the basis for who we are apart from other nations.
I am not remotely a lawyer. I recall a town/county adjacent to DC where their license plates espoused 'taxation without representation' because they historically pay no taxes as they never felt represented.
Can I legally declare that I will no longer pay taxes because the fedgov offers no value? It literally doesn't represent me, my thoughts, my beliefs, my individualism or even attempt to? In fact, I can make a strong case that the fedgov is trying to tear this country down and me with it.
My becoming exempt should be something these leftists applaud as it would hasten the demise of the entity they are trying to gut and kill.
Can anyone here comment on the legality of such an approach?

But, I wish they would. I know the general justification for paying property taxes, even for people without children, is to "educate our young people because they will be of value to us in the future," but considering 1) the quality of "education" they are getting, and 2) the observed lack of interest by so many of the kids...I think we are pouring our money down a rat hole. But then again, we were before, too.
WE ARE TO BLAME.
Did you join the Teachers Board? Did you volunteer YOUR time and YOUR energy to keep what you had? NO!
We just ASSUMED the good intentions of people while we let our communities be taken over by outright communists at EVERY LEVEL.
Just the number of "incidents" at grade schools with teachers and other people we find out NEVER passed a real background test.
Or how the pervert teachers were (and are) protected by unions.
Of course, if we had ANY true form of Media, we would have seen what was transpiring in front of us, and done something. But we were BUSY
living life, earning money, paying taxes, and getting our Bread and Circus shows to distract us. Never realizing...
Now we see it.
Are we organizing?
Are we finding neighbors who agree?
Are we helping others stand up to the Woke Crowds?
Are we DOING WHAT MATTERS today?
Or are we simply online, B*tching about how bad things have gotten (myself included)...
Trying to correct the course of a tyranny simply consumes your time and effort without results. The only method is to dismantle the tyranny.
That reply was for EVERYONE, it is where WE are failing.
Good on you! (Honestly, Thank You! I let them chase me out, not realizing it)
Caps for Emphasis, I would use bold if I could.
If you scan the response from a distance, it lets you quickly determine if it is worth reading...

Many thanks!

No lender with make a loan to you.
No credit card company will give you a card.
No bank will open an account.
You will find it difficult to get any kind of loan from any business.
You may find businesses that will trade with you, but you may have to provide proof of your existence repeatedly using other means.
It may be difficult to get a license to drive - although to don't actually need one.
It may be very difficult to get insurance for your car.
It's possible, but not practical.
I know someone who is not 'in the system' but he has relatives and close friends that assist him.
The system is designed to make it a hardship to get and keep your freedoms.
I suspect that if enough people started to leave the system, the feds would make it even worse.
I agree with you, btw.
The feds have been meddling looters with no redeeming features for decades, imo.
When I read the original question I also can't help but think - They have the guns and they want your money. I don't think "representation" was ever a serious consideration - just lip service. It's about as important and relevant as student government in 7th grade...only armed.
The ranger informed me that we could get to the cliff where we wanted to go rappelling but he had to follow a certain path, then we would be allowed to break off at a certain point and as long as we didn't touch the ground and hopped from rock to rock we were allowed to access the cliff.
As we walked away my 12 year old son asked me if I had ever played the game as a child where you had to hop from rock to rock and not touch the ground to get to a location. I replied yes, I had played that game. Then he said; "The ranger has brought a new level to the game. If we missed our step the referee (ranger) was wearing a gun!"
One thing I do remember is that a "Tax Statement" to the FED was required annually for some type of condition of agreement.
Obviously, you are looking at becoming "otherwise out of their reach." I don't blame you but I can't recommend it. Because if you fail, you will likely spend a lot of time behind bars, no matter how minor the amount of taxes you "evaded," if for no other reason than to serve as an example. I hate it, but as a CPA, I just could not/would not ever suggest that a person should do this. Actually even if I were not a CPA, my opinion would be the same....but again, I really don't blame you at all. Be sure you consider ALL the ramifications and decide whether it's "worth it" to you, (because no one else can make that determination for you.) Edit for typo.
A friend of mine told me about a man who fought the state's right to license him and his vehicle to travel and won the case. Then he was immediately pulled over for not having tags on his car and had to go to court again. After several 'wins' the local county gave up and the local constabulary were aware of him and left him alone. When he drove into another jurisdiction he had to go to court and start over. Not an efficient method.
No, no matter what you do you will offend and they will come calling eventually. Paying into it is akin to weaving your own noose by facilitating those who will come. How do you avoid it? I'm open to ideas.
They'll enjoy my bullpup.
It is wiser to get out of the path of an avalanche to avoid its consequences and deal with them later when you have a reasonable chance of success.
I agree that careful research is imperative before taking such a step, but careful consideration of the sources of the research is also imperative.
