    As long as you’ve been paying your taxes, you can set fed withholdings to $0 until the shutdown is over. Go a couple years without paying, and the Fed has probably set your withholding for you by now.

    You’ll still owe income tax, but this stops giving them an interest free loan trump will just blow thru.

    Ideally I’d like to see blue states coordinate it for their citizens, just so it’s all sitting in a big find that the state can use as a carrot to reopen the fed.

      Yeahhh you’ll get slapped with penalties for this though.

      iirc you could pay your taxes once a quarter but longer than that and there are fines.

        Oh, it sounds like it?

        Did you think of checking yourself before just fucking guessing someone was wrong and making a comment?

        Like, imagine hearing someone say something on the Internet, and not being sure if they’re right…

        So you just fucking guess in a comment and wait four fucking hours to see if the original person will reply back.

        Instead of you taking the two seconds to check before making that comment.

        What the fuck is wrong with people?

        Just willfully and proudly ignorant.
