    Taxes are taken out of your checks before you are even paid. This isn’t practical.

    I do have to wonder if everyone stopped paying federal taxes how that would fuck over Trump. Like, would he admit he’s powerless against the numerous? Would he just lie and pretend the money is there? Would he just not pay the bills like he has historically done?

    It’s fun to imagine what he would do facing adversity.

      Get paid under the table.

      Yes. Obviously. Money’s fake anyway. But that would heighten a looooot if contradictions and fracture a lot of coalitions on the right.
