Living off the grid and bartering are excellent ideas. Anything, legally, you can do to keep the politician’s dirty, grubbing hands from confiscating your private property is desirable. Remember, a socialist gov’t only sees successful people as a source of revenue to support their grovelling voter base! Very, Very, few taxes, or laws are ever rescinded.
The typical American is so dumb that they don’t realize the difference between gross pay and take home pay. They don’t even recognize the thousands of hidden taxes that politicians have secretly concealed in the tax code.
Just wait till that additional One Trillion dollar marker comes home to roost on Jan. 1, 2014...
All of our taxes, not just the people making that arbitrary number of $250K a year, are going to get screwed and tattoo’d...
Happy friggin’ new year!!!
