    Most working people have their estimated taxes deducted from their pay before they receive it. They don’t have an option to not pay.

      You can fill out a form and send it to your HR/payroll department to adjust your withholdings at anytime, and they are supposed to do so no questions asked.

      The employee not paying their income tax does not actually have an adverse impact on the employer, so they don’t care. Of course, the employee still has the legal obligation to pay; but breaking tax law is pretty inherent with tax protest.

      Well, that one congressional district that has their congress person being kept out should definitely not have to pay because that would be a taxation when they have no representation.

        Also, several congresspeople have said that they “don’t represent the Democrats” in their districts. I think that, too, should immediately exempt those residents from taxes.
