After reading some threads it seems clear that in the US, many are fed up with the government. Not so much the system of government, but the actions
and inaction's of the government.
One thread wanted to know how to get everyone to go
on strike.
I read some of the responses and thought of my own situation. Some people have jobs that others depend on, such as medical. People in these jobs have
a hard time, even if it is to their detriment, to refuse work because it is in their nature. I realized that most people are dependent on a
functioning system. The advancement of civilization means not everyone has to have a farm to survive. These people simply cannot stop functioning in
the system.
What if you could? If you were to win some multi-million dollar lottery, would you set yourself up to be completely self sufficient? You could have
access to your own grown foods, water, and green energy to provide power. You would have all your need covered.
Now, if you found yourself in this situation, a sovereign individual, sufficient in all the basic ways, would you still be part of they system? Would
you pay your taxes seeing how the government wastes it? Would you be willing to flip off the government in a stand off of freedom?
How do you think the government would react? How would the people react to seeing the actions or inaction's of the two opposing forces?
Personally, I think I would. While I would likely still want to pay taxes at a local level, I would not file taxes federally. I would more than
happily stand my ground against the FBI, DHS, IRS SWAT that would sit at the gate. I don't feel free any longer, because we are not. To secure a small
piece of land to carve out as my own sovereign territory, I would fight for that. Would you?
