If getting a critical mass of individuals onboard is hard, getting a critical mass of business owners willing to stick their necks out and stop acting as agents for the state on payday (with at-source income tax deductions) will be next to impossible. I still think we will need to reach a pain point where everyone just stops reporting to work for a couple months. Historically, it’s the only thing that’s ever gotten the politicians’ attention.

I'm at the point where, I've been tempted to go "free agent" and use my skills for Bitcoin. Sick of paying the state for my own prison.
The only thing stopping me is having dependents. I’d be living in a tent right now if I didn’t have people counting on my dwindling salary. The matrix has me. I’m just trying to point out the traps to my kids. And they likely won’t get it until it’s too late either. Too many distractions.
Ive read Dave Champion's book and am planning to go without paying the fraudulent income tax, but I need more wealth saved before I can take the risk of pissing off my employer. Definitely not paying any income tax in retirement.
Thx! Always looking for new pods
