Do you REALLY need 3-ply scented toilet paper at $8 a 4-pack? No. Do you REALLY need to spend $5- $10 a day on ordering lunch and having it delivered, because your ass is too lazy to make your own food and bring it to the office?

Why blame the government? I'm not saying they don't have some responsibility here. But face facts. Americans are tards. We use and use and use and waste and waste and waste without any regard to the consequences.

it's not that simple!

If you own a business, even a small business, you have to pay TAX to the government. If the government has chosen to screw it's citizens by raising TAXES to pay the debts they've incurred with the FRB, then you either have to:

* raise prices in your business
* cut your overheads
* find cheaper suppliers

or go BUST.

TAX is not avoidable even if your become the most eco-centric efficient self-sufficent person on the planet. Even small family farmers have to pay tax, and they are about as efficient as one can get. So it's not as simple as you suggest.

The government will tax you and keep on taxing you so long as their in debt, and guess what happens if you dont pay your'e tax

that is simple - they put you in jail!

So in the future you have a choice, continue paying higher taxes whilst reducing yourself to the status of a slave, or sod the system and go to jail, or do something about the bloody government (and I don't mean violent communist revolution here which is for pricks and idiots. I mean sensible organised political campaigning to get more honest candidates into power).
