Probably the most effective way to protest everything this fuck face fascist is doing would be to just stop paying federal taxes. They don’t pay their taxes, why should we?
A good number of jobs automatically deduct taxes from your paycheck, which makes this difficult.
Also, I don't think HR/Payroll would easily agree to any requests by personnel to stop the deductions. They will ask questions.
FYI as someone who has filled out that form many times as "exempt" I can say no one has ever asked any questions about it. If they did, I'd probably tell them it's none of their business- I'm the one committing the crime if what I'm signing isn't true, and at no point in submitting it are you asked to prove youre exempt (until you file your 1040 the next year, if you file one)
But it's also pretty hard to argue later you must have just "done the math wrong" ’cause there's a whole separate section for declaring youre exempt.
They also still take out social security and medicare.
