Maybe it's my upbringing, but giving a portion of your wages to the community to fund things too large in scale to do alone is exclusively beneficial? (Fun fact: did you know there are multiple verses in the Bible saying to pay your taxes? One would think that would have weight in a nation with Christianity as it's dominant religion, and even sects of Christian Nationalists... but it seemingly doesn't.) Like, the idea of paying a toll to use _any_ road _every time you want to use one_ sounds incredibly dumb, yet that's the only way roads would be able to be funded "without taxes"... except it's not without taxes. Its still being taxed. The money would just be going to a corporation driven by a desire for endless profit growth instead of a nonprofit organization. Or heath care. Despite having some of the best medical knowledge and practitioners in the world, the US has among the worst methods of ensuring people can actually afford to use them...

However, many laborers, including those who built the pyramids, were likely free workers rather than slaves.

And most historians agree that ancient egypt was built by free workers rather than slaves so if the pyramids builders weren't slaves it's obvious that the palace maidens weren't slaves either. And again there would be no way that a man who considered himself a god would let slaves prepare his food, he had reliable servants whom he trusted.

"What do you mean your office building is in smithereens and your boss is a corpse on the side of the road that rats feed on? You still need to pay your taxes so that our great nation can continue existing and flourishing!"
Why are you assuming they won't? It would take hundreds of thousands of bombs to literally destroy all the US. Infrastructure and food supply would be badly damaged by blasts and radiation but for the most part even in the worst case scenarios we're still here and that means if America just goes away it's because everybody decided to stop being American.
'The world is about to end...'
IRS: 'Even that won't stop me.'
How can they tax the wild black berries in my yard when I have no power or water after an apocalypse?
They really think that we'd care what the IRS says in an apocalyptic scenario? Oh that is ADORABLE
Wouldn't we try to rebuild tho?
Like practically speaking, I doubt the whole thing falls in one night.
@@alclay8689 yeah, but with a reduction of middle men
@@alclay8689 lets be real, the taxman wouldn't survive a week. people already want him dead
@@TonedVirus3So if we're attacked with nuclear weapons your priority is taking out other Americans? Apocalyptic war is literally the most justifiable taxes could ever be.
How to say " I'm a brain dead retard without saying I'm a brain dead retard"
The pharaoh charged his slaves 20%
What exactly does that make us?
The pharaoh had no slaves they were workers, he wouldn't entrust slaves to handle his food or even be by his side
@@sa_med Incorrect.
@@sa_medHe did have slaves
@@JohnSmith-gi2oy no he didn't, according to historium and springer. Pharaohs in ancient Egypt did utilize slaves. However, many laborers, including those who built the pyramids, were likely free workers rather than slaves. The terminology surrounding slavery in ancient Egypt is complex, and distinctions between different types of servitude can be ambiguous. And most historians agree that ancient egypt was built by free workers rather than slaves so if the pyramids builders weren't slaves it's obvious that the palace maidens weren't slaves either. And again there would be no way that a man who considered himself a god would let slaves prepare his food, he had reliable servants whom he trusted.
@@sa_med I didnt say that the pyramids were built by slaves, i said there were slaves.
Bold of the IRS thinking they'd be allowed to exist in an Apocalypse.
They made plans to get our money after the end of the world but I get sick and lose everything. Sounds about right.
Imagine almost died from nuclear attack and ww3 and just after the war over the irs sends its "negotiation"
Seems like such a slimy thing to do, enforcing tax collection even after a disaster that crumbles civilization itself
"Hi, i'm with the IRS"
"And i'm with an SMG, bro, what's your point?"
"Well you know that funny game you played before the apocalypse? Well patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter" *loads anti material rifle*
We need another NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION ✊✊✊
You HAVE representation. That is your government, you get to vote for them.
@@uncletiggermclaren7592 ah yes, voting for the one of two old clowns who you dislike the least
@@uncletiggermclaren7592 and then they go off and do shit they said they wouldnt
@@uncletiggermclaren7592They don't represent us. We have been forced into two choices, instead of choosing what we want we have to settle for what we can get. We have to choose the lesser of two evils, that is not really representation. This is intentional, both sides are owned by the oligarchs and create merely an illusion of choice.
The 48 laws of power, Law number 31:
Control the options, get others to play with the cards you deal.
That law is to create the illusion of choice, when in reality you make them choose between only the choices that benefit you, instead of allowing them to freely choose what is not beneficial towards you.
@@alexe8330 You are talking about your own issues, not about some vast conspiracy. I promise you, any polis I am a part of, will never ideally suit you, because I am Rational and you are a little Irrational.
"we" will NEVER "get what we want" because "we" don't want anything alike.
It is the nature result of living in large groups of humans. Because life in large groups is complex, YES, you have to settle for what you can get.
No one is causing it, this is the natural fact, events are complex, choices are rarely clear cut, compromise is an essential part of political life.
Now I wanna see a post apocalyptic movie/game where you have to deal with the IRS
"Sir we are going to need you to submit a form outlining any successful raids you've conducted lately. Do you have any income sources of iodine tablets or precious metals to claim for this last quarter? Have you found any weapons cashes you'd like to claim this fiscal year? Make sure to also save any receipts for any raided pharmacies as well."
"Sir, you owe 170 bottle caps."
Imagine after getting hit by a nuclear bomb, I don’t pay my taxes 12 hours later and they repossess my exploded home.
I see. That's why The Joker fears the IRS so much.
"We can handle Batman, Harley! But the IRS is completely different..."
Crazy how it was created to be temporary but now has plans to survive when all else dies 😂😂
So basically in the wastelands one of the factions we’ll be fighting is the IRS. Finally a worthy enemy.
Our currency would be worthless in such a event and i don't think people would go collect in a nuclear wasteland
Pay with poisoned water. They wont know the difference until its too late.
@@lowrezbs8882LMAO🤣🤣🤣 thanks for making me laugh, I needed it😂
As Warren Zevon once sang:
"And if California slides into the ocean, like the mystics and statistics say it will.
I predict this hotel will still be standing, until I pay my bill."
It's like they don't know that they'll be target practice once laws stop existing. This is the IRS the equivalent of a teacher giving you homework on graduation day.
This sounds like the start to a weird video game. The world has fallen apart but your the only irs tax collector left and you have to restart the irs in 12 hours and protect the money from survivors.
Could be an interesting fallout role play game
Imagine wandering the nuclear hellscape remains of America and some goofy mf from the IRS is like, "Hey man, it's tax time."
I absolutely will NOT be sharing my rations with him.
Same
I will add him to my rations
(activating VATS)
Judging by the audacity of the government currently, it makes total sense that after the nukes drop and civilization has crumbled they’ll send armed IRS agents to destroy whatever life the survivors have.
Only suicidal people doing that job in the apocalypse, lmao.
There are many reasons this would be impossible and unenforcible, including finding out who is dead and alive
Bruh even the zombies gotta pay taxes
That's a very cute piece of paper. I will not be paying my (federal) taxes if there is no country serving me after an apocalypse.
They will have enough lead to write that note into Mount Rushmore
I ain't paying at that point.
*You are the last man/woman alive*
That IRS tax collector ghost: Where is my money?
Here in Germany Taxes are automatically deducted for everyone Employed. Taxes only need to be done if you want some of that back
tyranny
@@SDsc0rch if you say so at least i am not afraid of going to the doctor and am not worked to death and thrown away at the slightest inconvenience. truly tyranny, man americans are so brainwashed it's not even funny
@@SDsc0rchdoes that mean you don't pay income tax?
If we had a walking dead type apocalypse there'd be no IRS.
*12 hours after global catastrophe* “thank god I found a can of beans” *tax man appears* “well actually we’ll be taking 2/5ths of that can”
After that the state man tales another 1/5
Then if you hand a spoonful to someone they want half that
Tax evasion here we go
That line the dreadnought says in 40k of "Even in death I still serve" is seeming more realistic every day
Avengers should have just hired the IRS to handle Thanos
I think IRS would be the next Avengers threat.
"You got snapped by Thanos out of existence? Sounds like Tax Evasion to me!"
They will reposes the thanos copter
Nothing brings people together then having a common enemy.
HOW ARE THERE NO TOP COMMENTS REFERENCING THE NCR!?!?!?
The IRS: "Sir, you need to pay taxes."
The nuclear shadow: 👻
"Make sure you tax the irradiated corpses, Margaret. Just because they're fused together doesn't mean they can dodge their taxes."
IRS agent: excuse me sir, you seem to be behind on your taxes.
Me (a feral ghoul): *AAAAAAAAAAAA*
* Rips off his face *
Faceless IRS agent: Sir, this is illegal. I’m going to have to report it to the authorities.
Bro if the world ends, the law isn’t here anymore. I can make the tax guy eat the curb.
In that scenario, you could eat the tax guy if he pisses you off enough.
If there is enough government to collect tax they’re going to show up with guns
They should have added it to fallout, a random tax lad come to you to take your money.
The state can't fall! Even after an apocalypse the state stands strong! 😅
Me: My house was destroyed by a nuke.
IRS: We want your money, money, money.
Me: I want a house.
IRS: MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!🤑
The fact they believe that anybody would care about their so-called authority at that point
what im hearing is that the enclave wont just be killing wastelanders
Nope... but the NCR ain't off. Now are you going to pay me I caps? Shady sands ain't going to rebuild itself
“Alright walkers at 7 clicks north, and IRS agents 6 clicks north east.”
Oh god the irs is closer
I can already see the interaction.
IRS: Hello can you pay your taxes in these trying times?
Wastelander: Sure! Ill be paying in 12ga buckshot.
*Bang*
IRS: OH GREAT HEAVENS!
IRS: So sorry sir, I forgot to take of my armoured shoes. Now please pay your taxes or my friends outside in an IRS tank will take your family as payment.
