I am so mad that Americans don't have the option to withhold federal taxes when the government is so dysfunctional.

I do not mind paying taxes that actually go into helping people, but it grinds my gears that:

1.) I have to pay taxes to a government so they can build a tacky gold ballroom larger than the White House itself
2.) I have to pay taxes to a government giving bonuses larger than the average salary to masked gestapo so they can traumatize and terrorize the nation
3.) I have to pay taxes to a government who will use that money to pay congressional salaries while that Congress is denying representation to Arizona
4.) I have to pay taxes to a government who uses that money finance genocides and wars

@inquiline yes, I've thought about this off and on over the years, and have perused this site. Even they will point out that the IRS can make your employer take your taxes out of your paycheck, even if you've reduced your federal tax withholding to zero. And when that happens, the percentage for tax taken out of your paycheck can increase.
