It’s about sticking to your principals — if you disagree with the tax cut, the last thing you should do is benefit from it. Give the government the money you would’ve paid had there not been a tax cut. Doing otherwise gives you no right to complain about it.
- piva00 9y agoYes, it gives, because oneself decision to give back US$ 2k in a year to the government is peanuts, you don't impact anything, disagreeing on tax cuts in a societal level means more money is on the pot to be divided in projects that benefit the society. You can't stand your ground on every issue that demands that a large part of society support it to work, that's not how it works. A lot of principles are only helpful if a larger part of society shares and act on them, individually they are useless.
