RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 02/04/19> Getting back in the groove… or whatever you want to call it.
I definitely learned something today! An entire book filled with these kinds of facts would be a bestseller @sultnpapper.
Have you ever felt like finding somewhere else in the world to live? I see a lot of people in the crypto community fleeing the US and I have to admit I've thought about it myself (even before I got involved in cryptocurrency). The trouble is it's not black and white, each country I've considered has its pros and cons.
There are a few interesting experiments going on like Liberland. Many people are moving to Malta, Panama, and Puerto Rico (PR has more favorable tax regs since it's not a State) as well. I do feel that, eventually, it won't be as easy for US citizens to live abroad. More people will start to wake up and the government will need to halt the exodus somehow. A law was passed a while back that allowed the IRS to collect taxes on US citizen's income earned abroad (you're taxed by the US and the country you earned the income in) so you have to sever all ties and renounce your citizenship to fully be free from their grips. I'm sure this has made more than a few rethink making a bold move.
I don't know that enough people would be interested enough to buy a book filled with the truth that would end up showing them just how ignorant they are when it comes to how the United States of America has gone from being a freedom loving country run by the people and for the people into a bankrupted foreign run corporation that is bankrupted both financially and morally while all the while hiding the truth from the people which they conveniently made citizens so that they would have complete control over.
As for leaving, I have thought about ,and like you, I ask where would be better? I don't know, so I will at least for now just try and pass along the truth in hope that people will start asking questions of their elected officials and do some research on their own too.
This place would be a great place if we would just get back to common law and common sense. We have so many laws and licenses that are nothing more than revenue streams for the government. Make laws , hire police to enforce the laws, and then fine the law breakers. That is how it works now in the United States of America for the most part.
Thanks for the support, Eric.
I think you'd be surprised at the demand for a book like this, especially amongst the crypto/libertarian crowd. Let's hope more Americans wake up to what is going on so we can try to facilitate change. Meanwhile, I'll be searching for a greener pasture, if such a thing exists. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Sorry for the late reply Eric. I have been covered up with drawing and the change of jobs. The pasture here would be really green and knee high in grass so to speak if the government would just operate within the confines of the constitution. That is what people need to understand, the people own the government, the government owns the citizens( thanks to the 14th amendment), we have a choice to "people" or "citizens" if people would actually read what is written there.
We need more people who will read and learn and less citizens.
Thanks for all of your support, hopefully I can get back at this Daily Dose writing in the near future, I was a little premature in declaring I was back.
No worries at all my friend. Life can be demanding sometimes and we must prioritize as best we can. Hopefully we can get people to wake up here before its too late! I hope the new job is going well.
