“ If only each King, Emperor, and President understood that his work of directing armies is not an honourable and important duty, as his flatterers persuade him it is, but a bad and shameful act of preparation for murder – and if each private individual understood that the payment of taxes wherewith to hire and equip soldiers, and, above all, army-service itself, are not matters of indifference, but are bad and shameful actions by which he not only permits but participates in murder – then this power of Emperors, Kings, and Presidents, which now arouses our indignation… would disappear of itself. ” ----Leo Tolstoy

Thank you for sharing that.

That is why I refuse to pay taxes when ever possible.

I am contemplating starting a trading post where people come and trade things without the use of cash in such a way that no taxes or money is ever exchanged. It will be a place where you leave things that you do not want and take things you want. If you have nothing to trade you can just take what you need, so payment or a trade is not required.

I may start the trading post via my hometown internet sight.It will be for local people here.
