Taxes Post-Doomsday

[tagtastic]

I was planning on paying taxes on poker income in full this year, as my yearly total is (and would have been) pretty hard to overlook. I'm at an extremely low risk of audit (no transactions over $10k so far, I receive a regular paycheck that I do pay taxes on, etc).

Since this legislation has been brought up and passed my contempt for the government has grown exponentially. It will be a cold day in hell before I pay for the process to create and enforce laws that serve no purpose except to restrict my personal freedoms needlessly and uphold some abitrary concept of "morality".

If we all quit giving them money then they'll have less resources to do this kind of thing to us.

Not paying taxes is about the dumbest form of protest ever. No one will know why you're doing it, and you won't sway anyone else's opinion, yet you're putting yourself at risk for going to jail.

But it's self-gratifying protest, in the form of you having extra money and feeling morally righteous in withholding it.

Congrats Federal Government, not only did you create a mess you will have to spend billions to police, but you're also going to miss out on millions/billions of lost tax revenue because you have criminalized poker.

I've been wondering about how to report next year... I have been making estimated payments so far..I am at high risk for audit.. i dunno wtf I am going to do. I was trying to be a law abiding citizen. I gave the gov't over 20k last year.. I jsut realized this has turned into more a rant than anything.
