When masked thugs in unmarked vehicles are suddenly trying to run you off the road and you don't know if they are law enforcement or criminals, of course the first instinct is to flee, not "comply."

So, having paid my taxes, and then learning we’d missed a source of income from my partner, we filed an updated tax return to send even more money, and it is a lot, to the federal government. It hurts my heart. That so many corporations pay so little, or nothing, makes it so much worse. WTF
