    To be fair, the IRS has had their budget cut and will be unlikely to come and arrest the people of one state let alone several. Heck if every blue voter stopped paying taxes then there’s about 5/8ths of fuck all the IRS could do about it.

      If they arrested you it would not be a big deal but what they do is keep on piling on fees and interest while garnishing any check you produce.

          Its not a paid person that collects and even if the process is not automated enough its again the fees and interest.

        That’s a great point, giving amnesty for withholding tax could be a good way to secure votes, could lead to a slippery slope though …

        But given America is a capitalist hellhole, the voters real power should be in their capital, if a provider isn’t giving you what you are paying for them you shouldn’t have to pay them.
