It seems that Trump, in his arrogance, is actually considering a war on cities who defy him. First was last night’s veiled threat of “sending in feds,” which only one reporter even asked Spicer about, and did so giving him cover to claim that it was “help” that Trump was offering. Now he will hold funding for cities.
How can the cities fight back? I have seen a few suggestions, including not paying your taxes. But really, unless you are Donald J. Trumputin, it is illegal to not pay taxes and we all want to be good, law-abiding citizens. But you can do something else.
You can refile your federal tax form that you filed when you are a new hire on a job and you can increase your deductions. You can put 10 or 12 dependents, which means that you don’t pay much during the year. Yes, you will have to pay in April if you do owe, but you will be not paying all year. Want to starve the Beast? This is a very easy way to do so. And I am NOT a lawyer, but as long as you pay your taxes in April, I can’t see any way it’s not legal. If I’m wrong, feel free to comment below.
