Small biz owner here reallly not wanting to pay federal taxes during this admin if they are gonna be cutting the services our communities need. Anyone else feeling the same?

Way too many quotes from the French Revolution seemed to apply to our current situation.

Getting my nails done for the first time in a decade before lacing up my boots. ‘Even the darkest night will end, and the sun will rise.’ Mask up, ditch the phone, and let’s fight together, teaching the next generation to rise stronger. (Les Mis is my comfort movie in times like this.)
