We don't NEED taxation to remain a viable country. The USA is one of the biggest donators of cash in the world, if our government can't run itself in the same way(off donations) then it should shut down. End of story. Not to mention tariffs ect on foriegn countrys selling goods within the USA. Screw the "global economy" as that only serves global buisness, not our own country. Our government has the power to quell outside competition yet they don't.
If the united states government was a waitress i wouldn't tip her due to the poor service she gives me, her real boss.

ORLY?
So you think the best and brightest minds are to be found in government?
Pray tell, who puts those government people in power?
Would it not be the same people you just branded morons?
Doesn't that make the people they elect morons by default?

I just really do think that you expect more from the uneducated ( even with college degrees) masses than they are capable of delivering.

if no one is harmed by an action then no crime has been commited. It's dead simple really. No one person or group should have any more power than anyone else.

I assume it would cause some sort of government gridlock. Or they could do like "back in the day" and only go in for important stuff. According to the constitution all adult males are the army/militia(and self funded too), there is one money issue gone. Instead of paying SS, put that cash(or not) in saving or a safe. This way the government can't spend it and hand you an IOU. Same goes for local government, outside of roads and maybe snowplowing in northern states they shouldnt have much to talk about. As for the law side, thats easy too. Murder,Fraud, intent to harm(as proved by evidence) are about all the laws we need. Or, even more simple, if no one is harmed by an action then no crime has been commited. It's dead simple really. No one person or group should have any more power than anyone else.

Now there was a man who brought loads of joy to the American people.
Never harmed a fly on anyones head, totally innocent of everything, he simply wanted to bring joy to society.

Ive always wondered why a group that feels these ways doesnt form a test "state"... kind of like the hippies did with communes. LOL! Just isolate and be your own petri dish.. then you can float the idea with some practical results.
