Another way is “Operation Thrift”...I started this a year ago...put off those large purchases, minimize spending, cut back on overtime (if possible) and you can reduce the amount of your cash headed to the parasites....300 million people at 300 dollars a year is nine hundred billion dollars...a big hit for the parasites

Since I’ve been “Retired” without compensation for the last ten months, we have been practicing a real “Operation Thrift”! The surprising thing is that even losing $70k in income hasn’t prevented us from having a roof over our heads and food on the table. Faith is a big factor and God has placed His people all around us. It also has surprised us how much money that we wasted on frivolous things.

"....300 million people at 300 dollars a year is nine hundred billion dollars..."

Agreed in principle. But that 300 million includes how many non-taxpaying infants, children, and teenagers -- and how-the-hell-many non-taxpaying adults?

The hit the parasites would take, assuming 100% participation among taxpayers, would probably be on the order of a couple hundred billion. Nothing to sneeze at, but damn -- I wish there were a way to strangle the spigot altogether!
