Income Taxation is Oppressive
IRS came at me in 2009. I was taken back. At the time I was the top patent prosecutor in the country, making about 50k$/mo in today’s money value. I patented technology for a federal research laboratory being highly skilled. I paid taxes every year and kept precise records to the penny.
I settled with the IRS, and then they got stiffed, not one cent. They came at me, took out a highly productive professional, got stiffed, society and government lost a valued human resource, and they lost future tax revenues. I won’t participate in an abusive federal tax machine. I vowed never to work for income again and give them any reason to further come at me and enslave me. Game Over!!!!
