Trump’s tax cuts also expired, and we’re now seeing the effects of the W2 changes that typically result is withholding being too low, leading to sizable tax bills. My mom is stuck paying an extra $6k, while some people’s underwitholding is 5-6 digits. But good luck telling the IRS to kick rocks.

Not to say that protesting the Gaza situation in this way isn’t an interesting idea, but I suspect many people are also looking for an alternative to their unexpected tax bills.

One thing I found really interesting and was talking about with someone recently about the Isreal-Palestine situation currently is that unlike with Apartheid South Africa people have a MUCH harder time boycotting corporations involved with Israel than they did during Apartheid, with Globalism many things (such as soap in the US) are basically owned by a few companies operating under multiple labels, so it’s extremely hard to tell if a product is linked to a Zionist company compared to the Apartheid protests where things were both more clearly labeled and also less monopolized.
An example is: I’m pro-Ukraine. All my go-to soap brands are owned by Unilever, who are still active in Russia. I’m too poor to get handmade soaps from the farmers market, and I need to go scentless because of allergies and convenient because I can’t just spend all my time looking for guilt-free soap.
So, in regards to Isreal. who does that leave for people to boycott? The US Government, which although tax evasion is a very harshly punished thing, is much more directly and obviously linked to Zionism.
