Cant imagine making 30 k a year and having to pay even 1600 in taxes. This is saying it will increase that much.

What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

Because a defunded IRS will track easy fish like yourself and be quicker to fine you.
I don't care. I struggle to even find accountants willing to do my taxes, I doubt underfunded IRS is going to want to tackle that mess.
And even if they do, I'm of multiple cultures that I'm damned if I do regardless, so might as well take that extra money and do some good with it while I can.
Pay it because if you don't pay it they might come and make you pay it? Poor argument.
I'll pay it when I file, over time, slowly, but not from each and every check throughout the year.
