@blabberlicious I'm sad to say that some services, including the #IncomeTax department in India, do even worse. They failed to send my tax refund, instead emailing me to reapply on the website, but the website was broken and my reapply option was missing, so I headed for customer care.

Turns out "customer care" doesn't read your messages; they used a set reply based on my complaint category even when it directly contradicted what I wrote in my complaint AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO USE AN LLM

For the US income tax filing deadline today:

Put my Fed/State tax income returns in the mail yesterday.

So, I have nothing to do except mess around w/my SO today.😊

------------------------------------------

I always file my returns by mail & never file early. Why?

1) I always owe $. So, why pay early? 🤷‍♂️
2) I always pay by check so that I get a few days of "float" on the $.

------------------------------------------

I also never pay any estimated taxes.

Why give them any of my $ before it's due? 🤷‍♂️

The amount of the "tax penalty" for not doing so has always been negligible.

------------------------------------------

Happy "Tax Day!" 🥳

Hope it's uneventful for everyone! 😎

@Remittancegirl @pgiulan Since long before Trump even entered politics, or #Palantir existed, I've been convinced that #surveillance, not revenue generation, was the real reason for #IncomeTax on working-class individuals (as opposed to plutocrats and corporations). There are many other ways to generate revenue, such as #VAT and #LandValueTax, or just income taxation limited to corporations and very wealthy individuals. But those wouldn't enable the monitoring of everyone's economic life the way population-wide income taxation does.

Continued thread

#Trump again criticizes the creation of the #IncomeTax in the US in 1913, arguing that it’s a mystery why the nation ever instituted one. American policymakers embraced the income tax for 2 reasons: to collect more taxes from the #rich & to pay for a growing federal govt.

Conversly, #tariffs disproportionately burden #LowIncome Americans, who spend more of their earnings on goods that tariffs make more expensive.

Nationwide warns Reeves against cutting tax breaks on cash Isas | Cash Isas | The Guardian – theguardian.com/money/2025/feb

Maybe instead of making cash ISAs worse, they should make shares ISAs better? Last one I opened required a cheque be posted with paper forms to pay in, and the statements were a long mess with a booklet in a format unlike any other savings account. Inefficient and user-hostile.

Dear Congressman / Congresswoman / Senator,

ABOLISH THE INCOME TAX NOW!

This is the most important letter I have ever penned to a public official. My message is that the income tax on worker wages is a insidious form of slavery that must be abolished. This is not a Democrat issue or a Republican issue. This is an issue of real justice for a nation of impoverished workers being taxed with a gratuitous and unnecessary income tax that has steadily lowered personal wealth and autonomy for several generations.

ABOLISH THE INCOME TAX NOW!

ABOLISH: verb; To do away with; put an end to; annul; to eradicate; to destroy completely; make void.

Notice that ABOLISH does not mean:

cut ; lessen ; lower.

It means to completely get rid of, en toto, entirely, as in ABOLISH SLAVERY.

So give no place to word games, Honorable Sir or Madame. Just. ABOLISH. INCOME. TAX. NOW.

Recently President Trump has vowed to push for the abolition of the income tax on American worker wages and replace the revenue streams with a tariff system. I require you get behind Mr. Trump, despite his warts and pimples and dimples and whatever character issues or political peeves and quibbles you might have with him--and move full steam ahead to draft, approve, legislate, and enter into law a bill abolishing the federal personal income tax on all domestic wages for all United States Citizens.

The income tax is a relic of feudal barbarism and imperialist war-making barbarism. It enriches a internationalist political class which is able to suck grants and subsidies from its piggly teat while disbursing tiny squirts and crumbs to the American people and their infrastructure. As an American, I have had enough of this thievery of my wages for funding every grimy and useless rent seeker under the sun.

Millions of Americans don't want to hear whiny excuses about how the Federal Government can't function without the Federal Income Tax. That is nonsense. America functioned for several generations during her greatest period of industrial and economic growth and power without an income tax. Then when the World Wars were ramping up we were saddled with this 'war tax' on our income to fund the war. Since then the taxes have kept us impoverished while making the war machine and grifter classes very rich. Workers' standard of living has steadily declined since the income tax was introduced and illegally retained after the World War about a hundred years ago.

I require that you push for, and vote yes on a COMPLETE AND TOTAL ABOLITION of the income tax for all employee wages, and ensure no new taxes are ever again levied on employee wages. If FedGov can print trillions of dollars to fund overseas adventures and endless wars, then FedGov doesn't need to be taxing us for anything. FedGov already taxes us through inflation anyway. Why the hell should any of us have to fill out a return? Maybe FedGov should file a return to us each year to show how much of our labor inflation has stolen from us.

If you don't work strenuously toward abolishing the federal income tax I will vote for whoever decides to run against you. If the federal income tax is abolished, I will vote for your re-election.

ABOLISH INCOME TAX NOW!

Very truly yours in freedom and liberation from tax serfdom,

John Doe American

Trump is REALLY serious about eliminating Income Tax (IMPORTANT)

(IMPORTANT!) I don't much care for politics but this is a positive development for everyone.

(Boost, Copypasta to other networks, text your mom ... this is great news!)

Trump is talking very seriously about eliminating the income tax for U.S. Citizens. This is the first time a President has had the stones to seriously approach this issue. The income tax is the bread and butter of the military-industrial complex, which enriches itself on our backs. There is no time better than now to abolish the Federal Income Tax.

I don't believe the anti-tariff fear-mongerings. America funded its operations on tariffs for several generations, with no federal income tax at all. Plus the income tax is a war tax. It was implemented specifically, and I do mean SPECIFICALLY, for funding the war machine. Gutting the income tax guts the war machine.

There will be a lot of resistance from the Federal Reserve and the war machine military industrial complex. They depend on the income tax to foment wars and socially engineer our lives and their total information awareness panopticon.

The American people are taxed and that money is used to enrich the rich and the rest of the world through subsidies, bribes, grants, etc. Instead America should tax the rest of the world and enrich the American people. Abolishing the progressive personal income tax on wages is the first step in the right direction.

Whether you are Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or whatever, now is the time to write to your representatives and demand that they support the abolition of the income tax. Fifty million letters should fill up Congressional mailboxes with ABOLISH THE INCOME TAX ON WAGES NOW! ABOLISH, NOT REDUCE! ABOLISH, NOT CUT! ABOLISH! emblazoned on the envelopes.

This is serious. It doesn't matter if your party lost or won the election. What matters is that we get this tax gorilla off the backs of all Americans. We have a President seriously talking about it repeatedly. Trump kept his promises to pardon Ross Ulbricht and other persons given draconian punishments by the courts. He has kept several other political promises. He promised to stump before Congress for the abolition of the income tax. Don't let the momentum die on this proposition. Don't let him wane on his commitment to abolition of the income tax. Get behind it and push!

Abolishing the income tax will do more good for American workers than all the political promises of the last twelve Presidential elections. This is an opportunity for real change for the average American.

"Only little people pay taxes." 🤏

#Musk's #Tesla had $2.3 billion of #income in 2024 but paid zero dollars in #federal #IncomeTax. Over the past three years, it reports $10.8 billion of income on which its current federal tax was just $48 million — a three-year federal tax rate of just 0.4% — more than 50x less than the statutory #corporate tax rate of 21%.
