In one day:
I was on the freeway and saw an accident.
I was in a parking lot and saw an accident
I was on the way home, two blocks later, and saw an accident.

Save 9.25% in taxes you would have paid or $9.25 per $100.
Why does this get you excited?

What about the 25% taken by force of law out of your paycheck?
What about the .38 cents/gallon of gasoline tax in TN?

160 DSR – Do You Own Your Life?

“You own your life. To deny this is to imply that another person has a higher claim on your life than you do. No other person, or group of persons, owns your life, nor do you own the lives of others.”

Stop asking gov’t officials to initiate force on your behalf via voting, taxation, & military.

Is majority rule what it’s cracked up to be? 6 of 10 say yes, so the 4 who said no are forced to live with the wishes of the 6. You think this is fine because you got to “vote” for what you wanted, right? What if the majority conspire against the minority to steal their wealth? Did voting make it OK?

Vote is Latin votum = vow.
A formal expression of opinion or choice.
A collective expression of will.

“Achieving a free society requires courage:
To Think, To Talk, and To Act
Especially when it’s easier to do nothing.”

154 DSR – Price & Value Aren’t The Same

Inflation

Standard of living and quality of life are not the same.

“It’s not that the stock market is gaining value… it’s that our money is losing value. And so if you have a debased currency… a devalued currency, the price of everything goes up. Stocks are no exception,” Peter Schiff

“The Fed knows that the U.S. economy is not recovering,” Schiff said. “It simply is being kept from collapse by artificially low interest rates and quantitative easing. As that support goes, the economy will implode.” Peter Schiff

Devalued currency is a result of inflation. Inflation is The Fed printing money at will. This is an intentional tax.

Why should you care? Your stock goes up in price and you falsely believe it’s a good thing. How many hours are you willing to work to buy a loaf of bread?

taxes

Why do we pay taxes? What are they used for? What if we stopped paying them?

If America is such a great country, why aren’t taxes voluntary? If we all love living here so much, wouldn’t we voluntarily pay them? Why are they extracted by force of law? Make taxes voluntary and see what this country would look like in 5 yrs, 10 yrs. etc.

1) Why do we pay taxes?
To keep the government running? The government is a corporation, a business. Businesses need money. Why does government take your money to operate it’s business but you have to use your own money to run your business?

2) What are our taxes used for?
To hide the invisible tax of inflation.

3) What if we stopped paying? Stop paying taxes and the corporation known as government will send its collections agent to visit. That agent is The Internal Revenue Service. Resist The IRS and you’ll have armed officers of the law to deal with.
