Well, you could choose to not work...OR, just figure out how to be born to a rich daddy and be a trustafarian and never actually pay taxes on income. But, mostly you are right. We are "hypothecated". Obamacare has made it even worse, for now we live in a suzerainty. Do you breathe? Then pay tribute to Aetna.
“Well, you could choose to not work”
Nope. Can’t do that, either. ObamaCare taxes you for not buying health insurance. Gotta have money to pay those taxes.
