    No joke I assumed it was going to be raided by the time I could use it anyway. Was really cheering for that asteroid/was looking to that as God’s reset button.

      I had my job convert me to a 1099 contractor and I’m just flat out not paying federal taxes right now.

      Yes, I’ll owe. Yes they’ll come after it. I don’t care right now. When they do, I’ll claim ignorance and then communicate by snail mail and then set up a measley payment plan. Fuck 'em.

          It kind of isn’t? I could face fees and interest.

          But I’m just completely uninterested in giving the current government any more of my money, especially as it relates to social security.

        If they get rid of the IRS like they are trying to do you won’t have to worry about it. I think you’re making the right decision. Withhold until things become more clear.

          Honestly if they actually get rid of the IRS they’ll be blasting their own foot off. Seriously Americans are pretty much universally paycheck to paycheck, if folks can get away with saving that much they will and such actions will spread like wildfire.

      Agreed, I’ve never expected it to last another 25+ years. But a lot of these chucklefucks that voted for Trump are. I say turn it off so the leopards can continue feasting.
