I was just talking to my ex-wife, who moved to Texas 25 years ago. She said that her property taxes were reduced significantly when she became a senior citizen - since she no longer has any school-age children. Sounds unbelievable to me! ( Of course, she didn't have school-age children when she moved there either - so the system has flaws. )

Exactly!!

One way to rebel is to buy less and work less and try ways to hide in plain sight

The pilgrims objected to double taxation without representation. I would be much happier to JUST get double taxes. As it is, I get taxed on pretty much everything that I have or do. Makes me want to own nothing and do nothing- hmm I think thats called shrugging. Just tired of working and having what I earn taken away

Yes, I am convinced that the election was thrown. Whoever is in charge, and it's not the voters, wanted Obama again. I can only think that they want chaos, although I will never understand. Maybe with chaos they can increase their power.

I realised that I was familiar with

I was using my kindle to post, maybe that explains it?

I have read 'The Filter Bubble: What the Internet is Hiding from you' by Eli Pariser
and
'Free Man's Perspective', a monthly subscription newsletter

Both WARN of the same phenomena - the internet has been "poisoned"(my description) by the algorithms that create an internet of ONE, a matrix that serves up an internet customised to your individual collection of interests and merchants advertising their products.

This echo chamber has been built as companies sell you to give you a 'free' user experience ( hello Google, Facebook etc).

YOU HAVE NOW ENTERED THE TWILIGHT ZONE

Perhaps there are Youtube times when you slip into a wormhole of a different dimension of sight and sound but miss seeing the signpost up ahead that says it's The Twilight Zone.

Didn't you have a referendum on independence, which lost?

They're not really voluntary in the sense of being legally optional. But they are voluntary in the sense that the system only works because most people reflexively obey. Sooner or later, a critical mass will stop paying, and then it will hit the fan.

(1) The boiling frog problem and (2) Many taxes are still successfully hidden from most of the public.

That's really weird. I went to a different video, but the one from the previous comment was directly below.

I had to follow your directions, after again running into what I reported.
Check out yours and my links.
They are different.

Whoa! When I posted, my link changed to match yours.
I just tried both links. They take me to the same different places.
But now back in the edit mode, my link changed back to the different one I had before.
Weird!

I checked the link, it works for me.

The title of the video is:
IRS Director Admits Taxes Are Voluntary 2013 (2 mins 31 seconds)

Lied2Bad is the individual that posted the clip.

I was *extremely* pleased to read this morning that, with all votes counted, Michigan's "Prop-1" plan to increase sales and other taxes, a plan on which unions, certain construction companies, and the state itself spent some 30 million to support, was defeated by a five to one margin, a resounding "NO!" to the tax-and-spend interests. Of course, the first response from proponents of the tax increase was that the proposal (the body of which comprised seven short lines of text) was "too complicated and confusing for voters." Presumably the thunderous response was not too complicated and confusing for proponents, despite those initial bleats of denial.

That link just puts me on the face page of Youtube.

Property taxes certainly are.

There are several of your fellow countrymen that post here. They have expressed similar concerns.

It's certainly a central figure in all the cronyism and industry of pull.

Glad you made it out!

That's awesome!

Have any Gulchers seen this YouTube video where there is an ADMISSION that taxes are VOLUNTARY?

Comments please.

That Central Banking Cartel parading as an arm of the government[a.k.a. the Feral(*Federal*) Reserve] appears to be a major source of your country's woes.

Sounds like you might have your metaphrrs mixed up?

Don't you mean, it is a sewer and the stink gets worse every year?



At least Americans have a Constitution to hold their lawless legislators to, in Australia we have NOT dealt with the separation from Britain and neither have we written a Constitution to create a legal foundation for our country.

We fled to Texas just ahead of the housing market collapsed in 2008 and have never regretted it.
