As an American citizen who has lived paycheck to paycheck in the past, I feel the weight of federal taxes heavily. Like many others, I believe that our government has too much control over what comes out of our pockets. This is a struggle shared by millions of Americans, with 63% living paycheck to paycheck since the onset of Covid-19 (Forbes, 2020). 

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) collects trillions in federal taxes each year. In fiscal year 2019 alone, it collected $3.5 trillion in tax revenue (IRS Data Book, 2019), and $4.44 trillion in 2023. However, this system places an undue burden on individuals and families struggling to make ends meet.

We propose a radical but necessary change: abolish federal taxes and restructure the IRS so that only non-essential goods are taxed. This would alleviate financial pressure on those who can least afford it while still providing necessary funding for government operations through consumption-based taxation.

This is not just about easing financial strain; it's about creating a fairer system where everyone contributes according to their means rather than their income level. It's time for us as citizens to take control back from the government when it comes to our hard-earned money.

Join us in urging the United States Government to abolish federal taxes and restructure taxation towards non-necessity goods only. Sign this petition today! Sign and fight the injustice that are taxes. The American people deserve a better system than what they currently have. A government unchecked in their spending habits does not deserve the fruit of our hard work.
