Jobs that either don’t contribute in any meaningful way or jobs where one would be better off if they were paid to be on call.

    Lol it’s so funny how many bad takes there are in this thread. But saying that the government knows everything g you owe is one of the worst one.

    No they fucking don’t. Sometimes they aren’t even sure that someone who got both his legs cut off needs disability, or that they can’t regrow their legs.

    Or that a dead person can’t have a job.

    Like, there are plenty of independent contractors and businesses that need to report their income, ecause how the fuck would they know that ?

      I get that there are a lot of people with special types of jobs where their specific financial circumstances or the way they earn money is unusual. In that regard, I get why those people need to file their taxes.

      But what about the remaining vast majority of people with standard jobs? The government absolutely does know how much I make and it makes zero sense for us to have to fill out a bunch of paperwork and not make a mistake on something that the government already knows the right answer to.
