Once you understand the fraud involved, it becomes psychologically difficult to continue to participate in the extortion schemes like local taxes and vehicle licensing. There is a "deadweight pain" to knowing. You can ignore their demands and make them come after you, pay up from your meagre resources, or fight back and force them to prove the obligation and lawfulness.
I can't wait for this whole thing to collapse. Don't care how much hardship is involved. Bring it on.
Your "deadweight pain" hit the nail on the head! It's so hard to know and to have to constantly have to confront or oblige. I cannot touch my W4 federal now because they cleverly put a lock on it... because I am playing with them on State tax, lol! Experimenting what could happen. Not afraid of the fight... but testing to see the "status" of IRS at this time. They have sent me terribly many reminders... and even offers to pay less, have it removed etc. I just sat STILL. We will see. I agree on the licensing and registrations too... but am not ready to get into it with a cop right now, haha, but I'm pretty capable of it!😂🤣
