Who recalls Kevin's comments about not having to file a tax return?

The public as one nonpartisan population regardless of party affiliation isn't going to be OK with cutting SSI, Medicare, or Medicaid. Now if those cuts are based on discovered and specific waste and/ or fraud inputs I don't have a problem with it myself.

Ok, I get it now.  You aren't paying in for 2025 in protest.  At least that makes sense.  Are you working though?  

However, anyone not filing on time and owing are going to get hit even harder with an underpayment penalty and interest.  I always tell people (the obvious) that extending your return, doesn't extend your date for what you owe.  

Sometimes I think you make these broad points and then have to back pedal fast when they don't make any sense.  (we all remember when you told us U/C taxes were taken out of everybody's paychecks; hard to forget that whopper)  What you originally told all of us here is you weren't filing your taxes for 2024, like it was some big protest......which it isn't.  

Jerry, workers, not employers, pay unemployment taxes...just like consumers, not sellers, pay sales taxes. That's because workers are paid less due to the payroll taxes that employers are obligated to pay...and consumers pay more because of the sales taxes sellers are obligated to pay. These are "passed on" costs.

I know you understand this...you're not as dumb as Boilerboob or stupid Tom. So you might as well drop the pretense.

You're contradicting yourself, as well, when you tell me that not filing carries penalties and then that my not filing is no big whoop. Even if you don't owe anything, not filing can invoke penalties. And FWIW, I did say I owed a very small amount.

The way I'm not paying taxes right now is, I've adjusted my federal withholding to EXEMPT. I also intend to not file next year. And yes, I'm still working--same gigs as before, though I didn't do nearly as much tax prep work this year as previously.

Even if that fraudwasteabusebelchguffawsnort exists in the massive quantities ElonTurd allege, could you please explain how indiscriminately firing twenty percent of the workforce addresses that?

Twenty % of what work force? The govt. workforce jobs? DOGE has laid off about half that (10%) amount of the govt work force. How do you know how indiscriminate these layoffs are, either? Is it unfathomable to you that there might be some freeloader employees and or unnecessary jobs / positions  within the govt. workforce cache? How do you know what's what as far as job necessities or performance review issues within the govt workforce? Did you tralk to Schumer or AOC personally? The Office of Personnel Management, maybe? Or perhaps the Dept. of Labor? The Govt Accountability Office? What's the source of your info? These DOGE efforts aren't mistake-free surely; but don't suggest that there aren't some inefficiencies within the US govt. workforce that they're trying to address.

Kind of a silly question. There's no evidence that any kind of review of the fired employees' performance ever took place, and the whole jihad took place far too quickly for any fair review. Not to mention that the process was literally carried out by teenagers whose prior work experience was limited to McDonald's.

The 10 percent reduction, according to ElonTurd, is just "the first phase." The 20 percent goal has been articulated by it many times.

Nines, why be a reflexive MAGA and defend everything ElonTurd does? Aren't you smarter than that?

Also, Nines, let's say that DOGE has the magical ability to sniff out and fire only the "inefficient" employees (however the fuck that could be determined). They, even the provisional employees, are all under government contracts that prohibit summary firing except in the most egregious circumstances. So these firings, all of them, are breaches of contract.

Not that either the Turd or Elon ever honors contracts, of course.

Kevin, it's called waste.

Kevin, it's called waste.  Just like 20 years ago when Republican Governor Mitch Daniels cut 18% of Indiana's government work force, the sky didn't falls as EVERY Liberal predicted.  Government is fat, and needs a diet.

So with $600 billion of annual uncollected tax returns....your belief is that amount will go up? down? stay the same?  given the massive headcount reduction at the IRS?
