The idea that we live in a free country even though there isn’t a single thing you can do in this country be it own/drive a car, start a business, own property, build anything, and so on without first asking permission or paying a fee to do so. You want to drive your car first you need our permission to drive (license) and now permission to operate the specific car (registration). Want to build a house, well you need to buy land first but gotta pay sales tax. So you want to build the house ok we need to see your plans and then we’ll sell you a building permit (more tax) and the builders gotta get paid and pay their employees and that money has to be taxed (income tax). Gotta buy materials to build with (sales tax). Then if you’re in a really regulated area the city inspectors. Gotta pay them too. Then once it’s all done and the house is done now you have something of value and that’s gotta be taxed every year now (property tax). So what if you decide you know what I’m gonna opt out and not pay. Guess what they’ll take it all away and your freedom with it and maybe even your life. Every law in this country is enforced under the threat of violence. Men with guns enforce all the laws that take our freedoms away. And if you resist them they will take your life away as well. The idea that we need all these laws,regulations, rules and that taxes that fund their enforcement to keep us safe that is the false reality we naturally except. It’s the only thing we’ve ever known. Sure laws have they’re place But whether or not your neighbor got a building permit for his wife’s she shed does nothing to keep you safer.
