Kanala said everything is going up so working people need to
s-t-r-e-t-c-h their dollar. How is that supposed to work? Eat less? Wash your clothes less frequently? Walk to work?
Tell us how Kamala. And BTW, Kamala, what are you doing to stretch your dollar? Oh, I forgot, you don't have to because all your expenses are being paid for by us, the American taxpayer.
If everyone refuses to pay taxes on anything, including income, what would the gov't be able to do? That would have to include all businesses/employers. No collecting any federal taxes, so gas prices, food prices and all other prices would drop. Cell phones include a bunch of federal charges. So do cable TV and Internet costs.
The tax system is a "voluntary" system, meaning they rely on the population to voluntarily comply. Enforcement for noncompliance is not through physical means, but by using laws to garner wages, swiping savings and investments, filing liens on properties, etc.
If nobody complied with the taxation AND compliance laws, the gov't would starve to death. They can't operate 100% on borrowed money, because they have to service the existing debt, too. That means they need our taxes to pay the interest on the debt. Borrowing to operate AND service the trillions in debt would cause the gov't to collapse.
Just a thought experiment ....
