Conservative voices on the social media platform X are expressing strong discontent regarding alleged fraud in Minnesota, with some threatening a tax revolt in 2026. This reaction follows reports highlighting questionable practices at daycare centers in Minneapolis, which have reportedly received substantial federal funding.
Earlier this month, independent journalist and YouTuber Nick Shirley shared a video documenting his visits to several daycare facilities during the week. His findings suggested many of these centers were unoccupied, raising suspicions and prompting accusations of fraud involving millions of dollars. This incident is part of a broader context in Minnesota, where multiple investigations are underway into fraud cases affecting various social assistance programs.
Amid these revelations, Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene shared her frustration on X, noting that many of her constituents feel justified in their anger. “Almost every Trump voter I see on X is so fed up they are planning a 2026 tax revolt,” she stated. “And rightfully so! It’s because Americans work hard to make ends meet, while the government gives their hard-earned tax dollars to foreign countries and governments.”
Conservative commentator Graham Allen echoed these sentiments, urging citizens to abstain from paying taxes until corruption is eradicated. He asserted, “THE WHOLE COUNTRY SHOULD STOP PAYING TAXES UNTIL THE CORRUPTION ENDS!! HIT THEM WHERE IT HURTS!!”
The conversation continued with contributions from Turning Point USA contributor Savanah Hernandez, who declared her intention not to pay taxes this year. She stated, “F— it, I’m not paying taxes this year. And then when the IRS comes after me, I’ll blow that up into a huge national story about how the government will destroy your life over a couple thousand dollars.” Hernandez criticized the government’s handling of funds and the prioritization of certain groups for welfare programs over American citizens.
In response to Hernandez’s post, another user voiced support, stating, “I am fully supporting Americans not paying taxes this year or any other year until we see arrests made, funds being utilized properly and fraud being rooted out.” This growing sentiment among certain conservative factions reflects rising frustration with government accountability, particularly surrounding the use of taxpayer funds.
As allegations of fraud continue to surface in Minnesota, the implications for public trust and tax compliance may become significant. The situation underscores a pivotal moment for conservatives advocating for transparency and accountability in government spending.
