Since retiring (no gov't income), I've become enraptured with the realization that I am like all the takers who spend NO time working for the benefit of the government.
Wage slaves are indeed slaves of a gov't who actively hates them.
Many times, since cutting back, I see where I could make money, but then remember that I would have to send most of what I actually would make to various government entities, insurance companies, lawyers, and the like; then I smile, re-bait my line, lean back in my chair, and take a long cold swallow of iced beer.
I can smell them fish frying, even now... ;-)
