wut nao?

So Im hearing shtrly deliberately keeps his on paper income low so as not to pay taxes, but then gets assistance from the state, and took help from the uninsured writers fund? Can anyone verify? This whole thing gets more and more fucked up, and I'm wondering more and more wtf is up with him.

And I do support anyone who chooses to show their distaste for the government by staying off the tax grid. As long as they are staying off the tax benefits as well.If you sacrifice and stay poor to avoid paying for a government you don't support at all, don't ask that government to support you. otherwise it feels like the whole "bleeding the Beast" thing.

Right!

Well, that and the whole "bringing up examples of your poverty so as to derail conversations about race." It's pretty much a FAIL.

Y'know, there are a lot of tax resisters--I've known people like that. But they don't deliberately keep themselves below the level of paying tax; they earn whatever money they can (they don't keep themselves poor on purpose) & then they resist paying taxes that they owe b/c they don't want money going to the military. Which to me seems different (I actually find tax resisters generally brave--I don't want my tax money going to fund war either, but I give it every year).
