As can be expected, of someone who has no investment nor interest in the wellbeing of society.
Americans you know you could just eat him right? He's not out running anyone.
He's not too much more massive than 150kg. I bet we could get at least a 175 m toss with a trebuchet, which should be enough.
No thanks, cannibalism is disgusting. I won't be eating any people as long as planet Earth has plenty of tasty animals that feed primarily on vegetation.
If you meant to suggest that the person should be murdered, just say that instead of suggesting more disgusting things like cannibalism.
I don't know any EU country, that doesn't do the taxes for their employed citizens. You normally only need to amend your taxes for stuff outside of your salary. The US truly is not a first world country it seems.
Graft and corruption
Billy Long, President Trump’s nominee to lead the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), is under increased scrutiny following disclosures that he used recent campaign donations to repay a personal loan from his unsuccessful 2022 Senate campaign.
President Donald Trump’s choice for Internal Revenue Service (IRS) director just had his six-figure debt paid off by campaign donors whose firms have significant, often contentious business before the tax agency he would lead, according to federal records reviewed by the Lever.
In new campaign finance filings, Long disclosed an outstanding personal loan of $130,000 that he had made to his failed 2022 US Senate campaign. The dormant Senate campaign committee had raised less than $36,000 in the last two years, which could have forced Long to absorb the losses on the loan.
But after Trump named Long to head the IRS, the committee suddenly raked in nearly $137,000 in less than three weeks in January — money that Long then used to remunerate himself, according to disclosure documents filed this week.
At least one-third of the money came from donors working at firms in the tax consultancy industry or involved in major tax-related legal battles.

Note that last one, and how Long is moving budget from free filing to auditing support.
Impressive to be able to say all this with Intuit's cock in one's mouth.
The words came from the dick. It's just that technically the words did come out of his mouth.
We're at the point in wealth concentration where you can just look at someone and tell when they think poor people should be slaves. He looks like the Monopoly Man.
Fuck. I used it for the first time last year and it was incredibly easy. Now I have to go back to being charged by TurboTax for something that should be automatic and free.
There have been other free filing options before. Just not sure how they're going to be affected.

I used this before I knew about direct file.

Seems like a good time to stop paying taxes.
Wouldn't that be a cool boycott against this administration? No taxation without representation as they used to say...
You have to be rich to do that!
it was not created for his convenience but ours, but that doesn't matter i guess
The whole fucking thing is scam so turbo tax and others can suck money out of people
He looks like the epitome of the typical corpulent Republican fuck.
Is that Boss Hogg?
Nah man, Boss Hoggs is dead
Guess who can fuck right off? That guy!!!
I'll just stop filing
Is anyone even left to check anyway?
If you're poor, yes. If you're rich, no.
Paper filing is 6 years behind.
Might be another use of the massive ICE budget, could broaden their horizons
Have fun having your wages garnished
Taxes are generally already withheld, not filing generally means you won't get your refund...
So you'd be paying more taxes than you need to? That'll show em.
If everyone stops paying taxes what the fuck are they going to do about it?
I mean, you don't have your money, you bank does.
Just change some numbers and "thank you for paying you taxes, a additional 50% tip has been automatically applied"
Cash it out beforehand then. The bank has no right to keep your money if you want it out.
Almost all taxes are collected from the paycheck before you even get your hands on it. The filing is mostly for the tax return on the overpayment. They've already thought of it. How you gonna stop paying?
My 1099 jobs I'm supposed to pay the taxes.
My W2 jobs, I just set allowances to like 20 so at least the bare minimum is being taken out.
By adjusting my W2. It's not fucking rocket science.
I'm self employed and none of my pay gets withheld for taxes.
Good luck then! Actually curious to see how it will work out.
Yeah... I thought about not paying taxes last April but I don't want to draw unwanted attention to myself. Did the IRS have a bunch of people let go? Yes. Does that mean that they don't have enough staff to realize I didn't pay and come after me? Maybe I don't want to find out. I'm self employed through my own LLC and I don't know enough about taxes to do them on my own anymore and I have to pay someone to help me anyway, so the free software wouldn't have helped much. Last April was the first time I had to do this, prior to that I'd been an employee at a company that withheld taxes.
“You’ve heard of Direct File, that’s gone,” Long said. “Big beautiful Billy wiped that out. I don’t care about Direct File. I care about direct audit.”
Jesus i thought he was calling himself "big beautiful Billy" in the 3rd person the way they used their capitulation in that quote lol
Not really much reason to pay Federal taxes anymore anyway sooo.....the problem sorts itself out?
Too late its open sourced
The open-source repository relies on internal APIs at the IRS. It's not really meant to be run by your average John Doe.
I've thought about putting all my owed tax dollars in an escrow account for the next 3+ years.
Was this guy AI generated because he looks and talks like he's AI generated.
At this point GOOD. If all of the voters who benefitted from this had:
- Shown up, AND
- Voted correctly
The rest of us wouldn’t be stuck with this. Let ‘em learn the hard way.
I would love to just let them learn the hard way but I also have to live with it all. Not wild about it.

You fail to understand how many people didn't get a vote out because of voter suppression tactics like voter ID laws, making voting only available in person, limiting drop box locations, limiting voting dates, arresting people for handing out water in long voting lines, etc.
By making voting harder, Republicunts win.
Making it easier lets Democrats and progressives win.
Making it harder also lends credence to the "my vote doesn't count anyway" mentality.
I live in Kansas. My vote doesn’t count, yet I still got my ass out and did it anyways. I’m done helping those who won’t help themselves.
It's too bad the motherfuckers that wanted this shit and the people that sat at home or did a protest vote because the Democrats didn't give them a pretty, pretty pony were the only ones that had to live with their stupid and selfish choices.
