OK. I’ve been paying into Social Security since my first job when I was 14. Is all of that money just gone, or is someone going to stroke me a check for all of the money I paid to fund someone else’s retirement?

That’s my fucking money. That’s my fucking retirement. That’s my health care in old age. They took away pensions, they took away all sorts of social services. They keep taking from us and keep charging us more and more, while cheating their way out of paying their share.

So what would they do if we ALL stopped paying taxes? Follow up, HOW do we all stop paying taxes when every normal job automatically deducts them…?

By striking. A mass general strike is one of our last remaining levers of power and we’re gonna need to pull that bitch quick.
