They really do despise you.
« on: May 05, 2021, 09:17:49 AM »
Something I just learned about. The IRS use to use a special label for anti-tax people, until they were told to stop back in '98.

Apparently it still happens though somehow. Kind of brings up the question of what documents are they even putting this label on that tracks people with these types of labels.

What exactly is "anti-tax"?  I don't know of anyone who pays extra to the IRS.

I guess the "pro-tax" people are usually just "pro-tax-everyone else".

I'm guessing the label is being put on people who've decided they're "sovereign citizens" and thus exempt from taxes as well as nearly all other laws.

I think that is what most people would say.  I am not sure that is what govt bureaucrats would say.
