A while back someone on Facebook was complaining about some funeral or something being paid for by taxes and my response was “I’ll send you your nickel if you shut up”
My point is the same here. Even if you got a 39 day refund i wouldn’t be that much. How much federal taxes are you really paying per day?
Edit: im not telling you to shut up btw. Im just saying tax is like at 10 percent right? Minus out the cost for the services that are functioning still. Like schools and police and what not… how much is left to be refunded?I’ve also gotten refunds for outages before and they are normally pretty small as well.
Last edit: I was just thinking the reason I probably call a refund kinda silly is because I don’t really mind paying taxes. I don’t like how the taxes are used all the time but I don’t really want the money back. I want it used for food and libraries and shit. I don’t want a 39 day refund, I want the parks opened. So that’s probably why i think refunds for it are kinda silly. Taxes aren’t the problem.
See the thing about percentages is the amount changes but the relevance to you doesn’t.
10k for a month is the amount you would expect back after the cost of police, schools, military, and every other functioning service has been taken out of the amount?
Then you’re making enough money to not be concerned about that 10,000. You’d be losing more money taking time out of your busy day to fill out the hypothetical refund paperwork.
Wouldn’t you rather been on your yacht than fighting with the government over principle? Wouldn’t you earn more discussing investment opportunities with your financial advisor?
Listen, I’m not complaining. I’m just saying I would notice. I like paying taxes to help everyone.
It does affect me though, because most of my money goes straight into retirement accounts so I’m not taking home “that much” (don’t get me wrong, I still take home enough to be healthy, happy, etc.). But I haven’t had a job for months and I’d rather not dip into retirement so that 10k would be appreciated right now. But of course I have a backup plan, most people do not. So yeah I think most people would like having to not pay taxes during a government shutdown.
Dude even if your tax rate is 50%, that means you still earn like 7k per month. That’s so rich, I wouldn’t even know what to do with that amount (except pay off my house loan in like 3 months instead of 3 years lol)

I feel you. For the record I’m just chatting not attacking.
I’m not a tax expert but I was mostly thinking of payroll taxes. What kind of taxes are you paying while unemployed?
