Billionaires keep closing pressure release valves. They seem very much to want to find out what happens if there is no legal means to stop them.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So far only one ceo has died. Sounds like they are winning.
Every day I hope that someone will shoot everyone working at DOGE, and all the republicans, but people tell me peaceful revolution is actually more effective long term. I don't know if we really have a long term to work with, but that's what I'm told.
There is no such thing as peaceful revolution. People who tell you that never read history.
Didn't a tiger shark kill one recently?
There was a second attempt since
And for the working class? Who's going to audit us, AI?
Pretty much. Wages are reported to the IRS by your employer, so you can't really evade taxes on them.
Thats if you're a salary person. Plenty of gigs out here that dont operate like that.
Sure, if you're getting paid cash with no 1099 and no w2, you can get away with it. Most people, not so much.
In very few lines of work is getting paid cash going to get you the inome that would trigger DOJ Tax Evasion profiling. The only one I can think of is extra-legal. Drugs. It's drugs.
Because 1099s are infallible and totally not filled out by the individual. If you're in the US taxes are designed for fraud. I'd agree with you if I were in a real country with real tax laws.
The BEST way to Reduce Our Deficit is to SHUTTER the People Responsible for getting Taxes that the Country can Use!
Unless they straight up lie, and they're not above that, there's a 0% chance government revenues will not go down.
If enough of us just stop paying federal taxes...
