WASHINGTON, DC: Outgoing Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has backed calls for a 2026 tax revolt, saying that she is fed up with the government’s spending priorities and accused President Donald Trump of abandoning the America First agenda. This marks Greene’s latest statement escalating her tensions with the president. 

Marjorie Taylor Greene backs tax revolt



Greene pointed to several calls from Trump voters to stop paying taxes in the new year, arguing that their frustration is justified because the government ‘screws over Americans.’

“Almost every Trump voter I see on X is so fed up they are planning a 2026 tax revolt,” Greene raged on X Wednesday. “And rightfully so!”

“It’s because Americans work their a–es off, barely make ends meet, and the government consistently gives their hard earned tax dollars to foreign countries, foreign wars, and foreigners the US government has brought/allowed into America! And NOTHING is given to Americans!!!”

Greene reposted multiple posts from MAGA influencers who questioned paying taxes or suggested refusing to pay them. Those posts cited complaints ranging from a $1 billion fraud scandal in Minnesota to US spending on foreign wars.

Among the reposts from Greene was a clip from Andy Frisella’s viral anti-tax rant this week, in which he fumed against the rampant fraud discovered in Minnesota.

“We’re being replaced with the dollars that we work our f****** *sses off to produce for our families. They’re taking those dollars, they are bringing in people that f****** hate us and then they are paying them to be here,” Frisella seethed

“These motherf****** were opening up a daycare and getting $10 million f****** dollars. This is f****** insane,” he added. “Donald Trump needs to feel all the f****** smoke over all of this.”

Frisella contended that “taxation was never meant to be a permanent thing,” and said that “every American should consider organizing and not paying federal tax, period.”

Her tweet took social media by storm, which grabbed Greene’s attention.

Greene also reposted Turning Point USA contributor Savanah Hernandez’s post, who declared that she’s 'not paying taxes' in the new year.

Greene argued that the country’s problems persist regardless of which party is in power, pointing to the rapidly growing $38 trillion national debt as well as unaffordable healthcare, housing, and other costs.

“What will it take to put the American people first???” Greene added.



In a different post, Greene aimed at Trump, accusing him of focusing too much on foreign conflicts and not enough on critical domestic issues.

“Trump spent the weekend with [Volodymyr] Zelensky and [Benjamin] Netanyahu, Pentagon fails audit again,” she chided.

“Meanwhile Americans are planning a tax revolt because they don’t know what else to do to get their elected officials to stop their money from being given to thieves, foreigners, and foreign wars.”
