Try not to pay any of those taxes. You will be arrested at gun point and put in jail. There is no greater control than that. Jeeze!!!!!!Hawk wrote:I don't see taxes as control over what I do.

Joe, do you hear voices trying to control you ? There is help for that. Would you like to list for my sake, how they "control" you / us ?
Really, do you know of some restaurants open to the general public that don't allow certain races ? Do you know of some schools that are open to the general public that don't allow certain races ? How about expanding your "No" answer to include specifics ?
Laws: to control drugs, guns, hunting, driving, eating, music too loud, fishing, spreading manure on your own farm, and even now spanking your children.
When the government controls you at the point of a gun using laws and taxes, you are controlled. You might love everything I mentioned, but liberty loving people do not.
Laws to control drugs: Good
Laws to control guns: Bad, but as far as I know you are still allowed to own them. Setting up a private militia to overtake government: Bad. Laws to prevent that: Good
Hunting Laws: I don't hunt so I don't know the laws, sorry. Enlighten me.
Driving is a privilege, not a right. Perhaps you want to remove all traffic signals ? I don't know, what bothers you about driving laws ?
Eating Laws ? As far as I know, I can eat whatever I want. You can't ?
Music too loud laws. If you lived in an apartment with the upstairs resident playing his 2 million watt mega surround system at 1:00am, you might want a law to prevent him from doing that.
Fishing ? I don't fish . Enlighten me.
Laws against spanking children. Bad.
Manure on farms ? i don't know what the laws are, but I sure hope there are restrictions to keep out poisons, bacteria etc..

BTW founding fatrher George Washington was the first to use guns to make sure taxes were paid. You love the founding fathers right ?
I might as well be arguing with the village idiot. Only an idiot would argue that laws and regulations about nearly EVERYTHING would not be considered a control.
Were the people in the Communist Block nations controlled? did they have freedom to come and go as they pleased? No, they risked life by escaping that system. How did the commies control their people? Laws. Regulations.
All governments use the same tools to control their people, just some governments are better at fooling their controlled population that they think they are free. And this government has you fooled the most.
