Becoming Free

The first step to get there from here is to abolish IncomeTaxes. Once there is no requiement to pay taxes the unforced market will adapt. Maybe one way maybe another I don’t think It’s predictable.

Or, we could keep working, stop paying, then everything is free.

Nothing in life is ever free...

I had a read. Good thinking, different to what I have heard before. Decrease the power of the state by increasing the number of representatives. Diversity, and more choice for the people. I left a longer comment on the actual article.

Notice the keep working part?

Selling our labor for a wage only to buy it back at a loss is silly,...

Yes consumerism is regressive but it’s what makes most humans happy. Beyond survival Keeping up with the Joneses is humanity’s second favorite pastime. I don’t see doing away with all aspects of the US government. Beginning with ending involuntary taxation. Our republic can stilll exist on a voluntary basis with a voluntary but privately funded courts. Pay to play but everyone gets a vote. I’ve read lots of stuff in how ancapistan could work and how ancommiestan could work; but honestly simply ending taxation will force the market to adapt naturally and voluntarily. Like no one could have anticipated or planned. Humanity will always need a civil structure to resolve disputes and keep the peace. Without involuntary taxation as the main moral tenant to live by.

When rule by force comes off the table the paradigm will have shifted.

True words! Thanks.

The political will to take a stand against taxation and just stop paying will never reach the necessary levels that the extortionists cannot persecute.
To end taxation the people will still need to expand congress to increase accountability. Imho, otherwise We will never have enough political support to totally disconnect. Gotta get real accountably oversight to make this big of a change. Imho. Checking out of participation in the system helps no one to change the system.

Making the old obsolete by building the new is the way forward.
