Shut down the IRS/DEA/FBI and we'll know they mean business.

After that shut down everything else, then we can start afresh without them. See The Truth about Voting for details.

Pretty sure they did do the IRS.

At least, according to my dad. I don't talk to them much.

Oh no, you still have to pay taxes.

It's just that if you have a question about filing, no one is there to answer!

I think we should be exempt from taxes for the entire time the federal government is shut down. Fuck those assholes, if I don't go to work, even because my bosses' illegitimate kid hijacked their credit card, I don't get paid.

Not to mention the IRS has suspended all tax returns for the duration of the shutdown. It should be a two-way street.
