...criminal overreach why?

See Indivisible One Million Rising.

Was forced down the throats of the average Greek citizen in order to be eligible for an EU loan.

People said Greece allowed their filthy-rich to pay so little in taxes, it lead to the need for constant loans to the government to pay for general functions. It was all Greece's own fault for not holding their rich oligarchs to account.

As federal employees pensions were ended, as the Greek form of Social Security went unfunded, as retirement age was increased, as government services disappeared and roads and infrastructure were left to crumble, Greece was able to dig out of the hole of debt it was put into. All because their filthy-rich refused to pay their taxes.

Austerity, the stupidest idea for paying off the rich ever invented. Coming back soon to a government near you.

Doing the math what does the government need our tax money?
The regime is cutting services, programs and workforce. The things our taxes supported if those things are gone or greatly reduced we regular grunts should be getting a tax cut. It's not like we have relied on the rich for their tax contribution in decades now.

Where's our tax money going to go?

Repukes spend taxpayer money like drunken sailors when in office.

Debt due to the wealthy not paying what they owe. Simple, really.

and building detentions centers to keep them in, here and abroad
plus:
Tax cuts for the wealthy
A Cryptocurrency reserve that is guaranteed to lose most of it's value over time
Trump's legal defense and lawsuits
Deploying the military on it's own citizens
Paying farmers for their losses from tarriffs, cutting SNAP, and ending USAID
Trump jetting back and forth between DC and Mara Lago and putting up the Secret Service at luxury hotel rates
Bombing Iran, Panama, and Greenland
Cover loss in tax revenue from:
--cutting the IRS
---dwindling foreign travellers
---tarrifs
---loss of immigrant labor resulting in food scarcity, reduction in housing, people staying home to take care of elderly
---more job loss from closing of universities, fired federal workers, end of Department of Education and other agencies
---explosion of homeless people
---closings of hospitals and nursing homes from Medicaid cuts
---more people staying home to care for sick and eldery or just too sick to go to work themselves
---more people dying

don't have to pay a dime.

Oh, and to that crowd? Jesus' own words (those are the red ones in the book you are using as a paperweight): “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.”

That means pay your damn taxes so that Caesar can keep the roads and bridges up to date and provide education and healthcare.

...should be paid for with state/local taxes, not federal.

Perhaps federal taxes should supplement, but the bulk of the money for those things should be generated locally.

so the states can tax more. You can't shift burdens from feds to states but keep the tax dollars for the Feds.

They are thinking they will just stop paying taxes.

I’ve warned them of the risks but really, what’s the point?

they wonder if they could go after tax cheats. They just don't have the manpower.
Not recommending you try it though. Instead of a penalty these days they could throw you in a gulag in a foreign country or a swamp where you either get eaten by mosquitos or alligators.

Not them.

any one man, but an eighty-something-year-old idiot in make up with dementia and a diaper?
