Since the passage of this law will be the closest thing we get to an official announcement that obeying the law is optional, I’ll take it in the appropriate spirit:
The moment the immigration bill is signed, I’m going to start underreporting my income. With the tax savings, I’m going to buy black market machine guns and armor-piercing ammo. Maybe I’ll even start growing some marijuana to enhance my financing efforts for the guns.*
*No, IRS, BATF and DEA, I won’t really be doing this. BUT CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY I SHOULDN’T?!
obeying the law is optional,
Only those who are favored by the government are allowed to ignore the law. It takes the natural order of things and stands it on its head...
Would be a poor decision, and doubly so for talking about such a poor decision. The guy up the street reasoned thus and he didn't enjoy his three years in Leavenworth.
