I Find the Income tax Immoral and I do not support my federal governments actions of the last 10 years. How can i finically support my local governments without feeding an out of control bureaucratic cancer?

Answer 1

Tough cookies.  Your only option is to get your income down below the filing requirement amount for your filing status.  That's $9,500 for a single individual or $19,000 for a married couple filing jointly.  If you're married and have a couple of kids, you won't be paying any federal income tax until your income gets above about $45,000 per year.  Needless to say you'll pay FICA taxes on all earned income.

Answer 2

No way unless you really want to make your life a lot more complicated than it currently is at this time in your life.
Just get out and cast your vote for one of the public officials that are running for some of the elected positions in your area of the country that have some of the same beliefs as you do IF you can find any of them that does.
