That’s sad. I definitely know the difference between someone being put in a cage and being killed. Nothing I can do if you do not.
Yea, someone understands!
I would disagree. If we all congregated to the same geographic area, I think it would make a huge difference.
It would be like shooting fish in a barrel, provided that the government is the AR15 rifle.
What do you mean by make a huge difference? In order for me to risk spending a large chuck of my life in a 12 by 8 cider block room I’d expect something great in return.
How about you go first and tell us how it works out.
Apart from the fact that being thrown in a cage (coupled with torture in more autoritharian regimes) is still a grim perspective, they will actually kill you if you put up a fight. Go figure what happens when you’re on the “wanted” tax evasion criminals list and they’re trying to apprehend you. If the usual way things happen is the guy not paying taxes goes to jail, it doesn’t mean they won’t kill you. Of course, they don’t do it if you comply, but you were talking about resisting the government.
Yes. The problem is that there are very few libertarians out there.
No, it’s not. Nothing I can do if you think otherwise.
Sadly, I don’t think tax resisting will deprive government of wealth. Everyone here should be keenly aware that most of the money government spends doesn’t even come from taxes, but from inflation. I think one of Reagan’s commissions actually established the fact that only a third of federal outlays are covered by income taxes. I wish i could remember the name of that report …
The only way to really deprive them of wealth would be to stop using FRN’s, but that’s not completely up to liberty-minded individuals since 99.9% of the products and services you’ll be buying to survive will be from people who will only take the funny money. Unfortunately, the market favors the legal tender, and who would really know what to do with a solid gold coin if they ever got one? How much would they figure its worth? Who would they know who would take it as payment? etc.
I’m not gonna knock you spidey. Its at least courageous to take that stand. Just know that it might be a lonely stand for awhile. But, in the end, once all is said and done, no one can accuse you of jumping on the bandwagon!

I mean they would give up and not put anyone in jail.
No, it would be like trying to go to 20,000 homes, and forcefully taking 20,000 people to court and forcefully putting them in jail, depriving the area of 20,000 productive people. These 20,000 people have to be housed and fed (if in the U.S.), paid for by the local populace. The local government would have to let them go, just like California, because it could not afford to keep them imprisoned, if the government even tried in the first place.
Try looking at the bigger picture here people.
Ian from freetalklive.com has already, for the last three years. He seems to be doing just fine. I intend to move up there and join him in a few years.
Which is why you do not put up a fight.
No I was not. I was talking about not obeying, not resisting. Big difference.
This is definitely another problem at the national level. However, local and state governments do not print currency, and as such, it would work extremely well to bring them down.
Being in prison is much worse than being in a cage. You’d rather they have killed you.
Threatening to throw you in a cage is threatening you with death. Why? Because I just decided that I don’t feel like going in a cage. Whats the next step?
Privatize tax collection.
They forcibly throw you in the jail.
