Controversial opinion(s) 2

I don't believe nor support taxes but I do still pay them, however if I could get away with not doing it, I would. Before anyone freaks out, I do understand there must have been a reason. But at the same time I see things like unpaved roads, poorer schools not getting materials, more pot holes etc. it's obvious that a lot of our stuff is pick and choose where it should go.

I just feel like there's got to be a better way.

I also feel like I work hard for my money and I want all of it, there's no social security for me anymore and it's the end of 40 year job security so it's all pointless for me anyways.

The one thing I've never hated anyone on is not paying taxes. I do believe it's classified as white collar crime or something but honestly I don't care that much

yes its annoying, but how to pay for the military to protect you, or the police, fire brigade, i could go on, seriously pay your taxes and dont have all your stuff taken away by the bailiffs, the onyl way to aboid taxes is to go off grid, dont work, be a tramp/bum, liv eon the streets, hav eno home, no job, nothing, be free

Not really. Living off the land requires work and killing your own food is quite labor intensive.

@Snuffy1957 I could never tell if that lyric meant she was in favor of it or against it.

@paulio I think there's other ways but I haven't looked into it, I'm sure I can find something though. I'm not arguing that I wouldn't pay taxes or that roads and other things shouldn't be paved or anything like that just to be clear.

@SatanBurger Oddly enough, anthropologically speaking, hunter-gatherers spent much less percent of their time procuring shelter and food than modern humans. Of course, there are caveats. Fewer material possessions. Now harder to find "open, prodyctive, and unclaimed" land with temperate climate with 8+ billion humes on the planet, etc. etc.
