In April of 2026, we might all consider not paying our federal taxes and continue to do so until Congress gives the United States a fair and progressive tax code that does not increase taxes on anyone making $150k/year or less and exempts taxation of income on all income of individuals and families at or below the poverty line.
Instead of paying federal taxes as is normal in April of 2026 and beyond, due to the current unjust political taxation as it is currently established and implemented, we could instead have our taxes prepared and filed as usual and all penalties for non-payment of taxes during the boycott are waived until Congress produces a new progressive and fair tax code, and pay only state taxes but not pay federal taxes until the following demands are met:
A new tax code that ends tax breaks for the rich and adds additional tax brackets to tax ALL upper levels of income.
Restores IRS funding, staffing, and functioning to Biden administration levels.
Fair and progressive taxation on all corporate income and the elimination of exemptions, waivers, exceptions with enforcement penalties for non-payment of taxes.
Automatic auditing and taxation of all overseas tax haven accounts and closing all loopholes and preferential treatment of expatriated wealth.
A one time inheritance tax as proposed by Elizabeth Warren.
A tax on all securities and stock transactions.
A review of all federal subsidies and the elimination of all subsidies to profitable corporations.
Convert federal subsidies in the Farm Bill that pay for monoculture crops and use it to pay for Restorative Agricultural farming/ranching which would also greatly mitigate climate change and greatly improve a carbon sink back into our soil.
Give it some thought. A tax boycott might be able to help us get Congress to do what it has needed to do for a long time: Give us a fair and progressive tax code.
