“I want all the benefits of society and none of the responsibility.”
Cosplaying as someone wealthy in court, none of that bullshit flies without the high priced attorneys who can actually strategize and execute delay and obstructive tactics to manipulate the court.
Wouldn't it be great if you could just fill out a form saying "I don't wanna pay tax" and then not pay tax.
No, because then the government wouldn't have the funds to keep society running.
I like paying taxes.
The money has to come from somewhere. And if I didn't pay taxes, it means everyone else will have to pay more.
If every company/individual/... paid the taxes they were owed, we would have a tax rate of like 10-20%
It also serves to increase the difficulty of hoarding wealth and creating dramatic economic imbalance. Billionaires are really bad for the economy.
Depends. I don't really like to pay taxes because you have no real say where you tax money goes. Like when there is a huge pothole in front of my house but you read in the newspaper that they rip apart apartments where people live and build new luxury apartments for the ultra rich, i'm like... Cool stuff.
Or you're american and pay taxes becuse the most important thing is that you have another 13 billion dollar airplane carrier, because 20 or however many aren't enough.
Great in the sense that you personally would have more money, terrible for absolutely everything else around you.
I thought those were called company registration forms.
/S
I mean, taxes are optional. You really don't have to pay them. Lots of people don't. There will be consequences sure, but you can totally choose not to pay them. And you don't even have to fill out a form.
Common mistake. The form is only for people named 'Ben'. No one else should file this form if they're not legally recognised as 'Ben'.
No, no, it's for people named BEN. Don't fall for their trick to get you to spell your name in all caps, that's how they enslave you!
I thought it was there to tell Ben he had to wait.
I identify myself as 'Ben', does that count?
Now someone tells them "No, that's not how that works at all, you will definitely still need to pay taxes no matter what form you file, and the people who say otherwise are wrong."
They will not listen, of course, the only answers that will enter their head are the ones they want to hear, that they are correct and are one little bit of paperwork away from never paying taxes again.
What do you mean, "employer"? Anyone who fills that form, by definition, doesn't work in the US. The form certifies that your income is not associated with a US business.
