Lessons about federal income taxes

[Robert W]

You pay for roads at the gas pump ... 40¢ a gallon {Cite} ... does that make all gas stations "spies" for the government? ... grocery stores charge sales taxes, does that mean they work for the government in the 45 states that assess a sales tax, but not the five that don't? ...

Funds for roads depend on which roads do you plan to discuss. Gas stations do not send to the IRS our names on paperwork.

I expect only what we contracted with each other.

That is the contract we made ... we're working "over-the-table" ... all you need to work "under-the-table" is a wink and a nudge ...

You still haven't addressed why I should pay income taxes on the money I pay you ... YOUR paying your own damn taxes, and I'm sending the IRS your name and SSN to make sure THEY understand it's not MY income ... so they'll chase your ass down for non-payment ...

It's attitudes like this why we don't trust you to pay your own taxes ...

That is also my complaint. It is wrong as I see things.

and... you pay your fair share of their SS and Medicare, thank you.

There is nothing fair at all about income taxes. Except sales taxes.

So you're an anarchist who doesn't want any government ... like in the Gaza Strip? ...

Keep complaining ... but don't actually change anything ... somebody has to pay my fair share of the tax load, so keep that W-2 up-to-date ... and keep filing electronically ...
