I think you can be jailed for tax evasion. We are living in historic times for so many reasons. I read the book “The Next 100 Years” by George Friedman, his predictions are not comforting. All of societies paradigms and norms are being upended and most of us are unprepared and will be caught with our pants down. The looming financial tidal wave coming will be most profound. We’ve attempted to borrow our way out of everything and this can’t go on forever. The divide between the poor and wealthy Is widening. Most of the stimulus and QE has benefited the super rich and corporations. Then we have companies that only care about the bottom line to appease the shareholders, while selling your data.
All your information you’ve given Google and other companies is stored. Every text, email, website you visited, what you bought, were you go is in a database and all the photos you uploaded into the “Boobs Thread”. Google was hired by intelligence agencies to make a program that allows them to access these databases for criminal activity and terrorism. The problem is the software can be unleashed on anyone if the powers at be decide to charge the rules. Look how the government has abused FISA section 702 or the drone strike against Anwar Alaki by Obama. This was a US citizen born in the USA, albeit a bad guy but, we cannot assassinate a US Citizen, US citizens are protected and afforded due process under the constitution. I only bring that up to point out that we have to be careful what allow our government to do under the guise of safety and security, The NSA has a data center in Utah is 1.5 million sqft. All for storage of our data.
Cliff, keep paying your taxes…not paying is a losers game. You win by standing up and making your voice and vote heard. Plus who is going to keep the library in order if you’re in jail?
