The government is my single biggest expense. The federal government alone takes 12.4% of my income for social security, 2.9% for medicare and about 20% for income tax. That's 35% of my income.
Yes, I get some return for that, but I would much rather invest in retirement and medical insurance myself, or decide not to, and pay for everything I want now covered by that 20% as fee-for-service. The fees would be lower and the service would be better. And I'd rather have no part in funding the American government's wars of conquest.
And nobody would tell me I couldn't smoke or drink or inject whatever I want, take whatever medicine I decide benefits me, or demand that I ask permission to carry whatever tools I think are necessary to defend myself.
I get to vote on government? What are you smoking? Yes, I get to vote, but my vote decides nothing. So I deregistered about eight years ago, and refuse to participate in a sham that supports a system that does everything by violence. What do you think a "law" is? It's a license for a cop to forcefully kidnap people and cage them like animals. No thank you.
Q: How many voters does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. Voting changes nothing.
