If you're living comfortably, then why not just pay the tax?
I’m brainstorming for a glitch in the system. Practically yeah for peace of mind, one would just pay taxes. I’m like the crazy ass friend that takes things seriously when another homie spitballs something halfheartedly xD
Obviously my post is not serious, but while there are certainly valid reasons not to pay taxes (e.g., Thoreau not wanting to support a system that was set on expanding slave states), in our current system I think it's in pretty bad taste for someone who's living comfortably not to contribute to systems that help the less fortunate. It's definitely a complicated issue though.
Anyway, I'm not living comfortably and have nothing to invest, nor do I have money to pay a rich lawyer to fanagle my way out of legal trouble, so it's a non-starter for me.
