Wrong. The system breeds stupidity so intelligence is force to the lowest
common-denominator. We will not get rid of taxation when voting is done
by the herd.

Why should I even have to bother voting for this? You think anyone in this
country will vote against taxation? Are you kidding? People in America
have become so brain-wasted that the concept of not having an IRS is well
DAMN UNAMERICAN!!

Transferring funds offshore, and not filling out your tax forms = effective.
If we all did this next year, wouldn't this solve the problem? Look at
Napster?
We are now ALL pirating music, but because there are millions of us doing it
right this second, no one will touch us.
The power of the herd when it adopts ANARCHY
try it... tell the IRS to kiss your ass, and start trading with an extra
30%, and
if all goes wrong, disappear somehow.
Life is an adventure -- isn't it?
