Not historically, no. Were my taxes always used properly? Probably not, but I believed in the overall system generically.
But since Trump’s second term I’ve cut back significantly on Federal taxes I pay (I still pay State). I’ve converted some FTE-related income to 1099 and ceased paying quarterly and I’ve claimed 10+ allowances on W4 income to reduce taxes withheld.
I’m on a payment plan of $250/mo with the IRS and they most recently told me to just keep paying monthly as best I can.
Thing is, I owe far, far, far more than 100x that. So I guess they’ll just never get all their money. I don’t care.
