>The Federal government has cut public health grants, Medicaid, laid off a large portion of he Department of Health, cut Department of Human services, cut school funding, cut University of Minnesota funding, cut heating assistance, cut flood mitigation, cut USDA programs, and cut SNAP.

Not paying taxes isn't going to re-fund these things. In fact, it will ensure they don't get funded.

There are always people who don't agree with a particular government's funding priorities; if we didn't pay when we don't agree, government would happen when we do support its priorities.

Paying federal taxes isn't going to re-fund those things. Executive Branch is now spending without Congressional approval.

Why pay taxation without getting representation?
