I no longer pay income tax. Not inclined to share personal info on websites, but in this case I’m motivated :) My entire income is $8k/year. No welfare, no debt, no foodstamps, no mortgage, no cable tv, no frills, and no misery. Living proof it can be done. I’m pretty happy most days, when my back doesn’t hurt.

And I get riled up when people bluster about apocalypse and the tightening of tyranny, and how tough they’ll get when the going gets tough. People don’t really want to risk their safety NET, never mind their safety. They don’t want to live within their means, cut back, for the sake of the country.

But if the productive people reared up and refused to enable the govt — even by the legal means of sacrificing their incomes — the govt would collapse almost overnight.

And America would be better off.

I understand that one can live an austere lifestyle. A book you might enjoy is “Into The Wild.” This is a true story about a young man seeking to live the simple life. I enjoyed this book so much, have read it twice, and watched the DVD movie twice. I saw much of myself as a young man in this tragic story of another young man that overestimated himself.

I am with you on the back issue. Suffered about 3 weeks of sciatica beginning two days before T’day. Much better now but not 100%. The physical therapy was of more help than anything.

I have lived cheap and could do it again if need be. However, why should I allow the criminals ruling from the DC empire to extract my sustenance in order to build theirs? I have income because I choose to work and expect to get paid for doing so. I also enjoy travel, hunting and fishing.
