Yep, its either black or white with these guys. There is no various ranges of middle, which in most cases of life is what exists.
So, auminer says he's colleague from the other forum's "entrepreneurial spirit" is being wasted because that guy wants to operate at an advantage over a legit businessman who pays his sales tax to help fund local, state, and federal governments. And the justification for not paying sales tax or reporting the extra income tax is that its just the "nanny state" that provides no essential or needed services in society and thus should not be funded. Is there room for improvement in the way various governments provide the services they do, absolutely but that actually takes active citizenship of people being involved. So, I guess auminer wants to just go back to the rugged individualism days that works in some locations but usually devolves down into tribalism and feudalism. Why has America been fairly unique in its longevity and general openness to do things as one wishes, because we've gone away (or at least we tried) from tribalism and feudalism through the way we have governed ourselves. That may be slipping and things may need to be revitalized but its mostly worked fro 200+ years. If you want to give another system a try, be my guest.
As for t00nces2 "concern" for when the feds or whoever calls to have me turn in my gold and silver, well they won't get much because I have no gold and only a little silver. And I won't be the first one in line to voluntary give it up, just as I won't be the first in lines to give up my guns or get a microchip implanted in me. But my arguments won't matter here because its "either/or" with these guys.
Enjoy your day. I'm going to go hang out in some mild temps, sunshine, and breezes.
P.S. I've never voted for a liberal in my life so don't use that tired line on me.
