USA: Do I still file federal taxes if the federal government collapses?

Just pay your 50% federal sales tax on everything

Actually yes, there are more oligarchs than the idiots in charge right now, and it's going to come to a head at some point. Each one has their feifdom and they won't go quietly.

More to the point, it's going to reach the point of mass protest again, and moron is going to call in the military. After which everything is on the table. No one in power will be safe in anything but armored transport and guarded villages, which won't last long. At that point the US and it's global hegemony will be broken. There won't be the resources to project military power beyond our borders and a few subject states, because it will cost so much to keep security at home, and productivity will tank hard.

No one can beat the US military except the US itself, and it's being forced to do just that.

Rest assured, you will be paying taxes to somebody until the day you die.

I just sent them a fucking check. Wonder if I should stop them

Fellas don't start getting stupid with your money because you're scared. You can't help others if you don't help yourself first. Most likely the federal government will still be collecting taxes and you will still be fucked later

It's a fine idea for a protest action however. Make a thing , get hundreds of people behind you before Going down this path. Even then probably A risky idea.

Not if you're a billionaire with an electric car company.

The US military is shrinking and getting more inept every year with lowered physical and aptitude standards. So at least there's that.

Why bother? Money that's sent will go to their defense efforts against our revolutionaries so if you're on their side feel free. If not keep it and buy your own ammo for protection from invasion

They will weaponize the IRS against poor people and ignore the people committing big time tax fraud. Do with that information what you will.

Not at all. Musk is well known for having paid over $11,000,000,000 in taxes in a single year.

And pay with what? Would the dollar still even exist?

Try to set it so nobody owes anybody much. If you fall too short on withholding you can end up paying interest on the difference.

You cannot escape the tax person.

They will come to you, either in suits, or in military uniforms. And they will collect what you legally owe to them.

(If the civillian government falls, the military will just take over and rule under martial law)

I think you are only allow to reduce withholding if you did not owe them money when you did your most recent filing.

Every nation in the world is a capitalist oligarchy if you haven't noticed. Every state is evil.

The only way to fix it, is to abolish statism worldwide.

Musk may have paid little or no federal income taxes since at least 2014—despite his ballooning fortune—so the one-time payment of $8.3 billion (or even $11 billion) in essence covers multiple years. According to ProPublica’s analysis of IRS records, Musk paid no federal income taxes in 2018. Between 2014 and 2018 his wealth grew by $13.9 billion, yet he paid just $455 million in federal income taxes, a rate of only 3.27%.

Jokes aside, the IRS actually has contingency plans to continue collecting taxes in the event of an apocalypse, so yes probably.

I’ve noticed that they are not all capitalist oligarchies, actually, though most currently are.

We would also like to ultimately abolish the state, though you and I might not mean the same precisely the same thing by it.
