So real quick on your self reliance bullshit, did you build the roads you drive on? And then go on to build the car, the tires, and every component of the vehicle (probably a truck)? Did you also craft all the materials for your own house? I'm just asking because the point of a society is that life is easier together. In fact, our cells kind of prove that point on a biological level, since they're basically a colony that works together to create you.
That has nothing to do with self-reliance. What are you going on about? By the way, I don't NEED a fucking car--that's self-reliance.
My house is paid off. My cars are paid off. My land is paid off. I use solar power for most of my electricity, and could go 100 percent if I chose to. I grow my own vegetables. I raise my own meat. I'm stocked up for 2 years with emergency food and water.
The world could fucking close down tomorrow and I'd be just fucking fine.
I never said anything about getting rid of cars or roads or houses. Self-reliance is being about being able to get buy if that disappeared tomorrow--which I can.
I'm retired, have no debts, have savings to last me the rest of my life, so my pension is just fun money. I live in Amish country most of my neighbors are Amish and/or Amish-friendly.
I could get by just fine if society shut down tomorrow.
If you wanna give the majority of your paycheck to the government because you feel good about it, then do that. Nothing stopping you from donating all of your money to them.
But I won't. And I fucking love Trump being president.
You understand that you can't plan a tax system around the few people who may not need it, right?
