    Knowing the above, why would anyone pay income tax? Because if you don’t, the IRS will use force against you to seize your property and possibly your person. Can anyone tell me why this does NOT make you a slave?

    Whatever the extent of corruption in Costa Rica, it does not seem to be as offensively open and in our faces as it is in the US. Income disparity in the US is at an historically high level and when these unfair tax comparisons are added to the mix, I have to wonder why we have not seen a violent American revolution yet.

    None of us here know all the numbers. We look at some data and stats and form opinions.

    But the bottom line is that the system under which we all labor is corrupt to the core. It was conceived by psychopathy. Thieves, bullies and murderers write the laws, occupy high positions of corporate authority and staff the military and police forces to execute those laws. They buy government and bend the educational system to produce compliant slaves.They follow up the educational brainwashing with corporate media propaganda so that opinions like the above can dominate.

    When you have a system which values everything and everybody
    in terms of the false concept of money, you have perversity. You have an upside down, dysfunctional world filled with manufactured scarcity and the ridiculous, contrived situation of an athlete or actor who is valued at hundreds of millions of dollars while 2 billion souls suffer from hunger for lack of money to buy food. If you cannot see how stupid and evil this is, then your mental conditioning is irreversible.

    [quote=”kwhite1″][quote=”sprite”]The easiest and cleanest solution to escape the clutches of the IRS is to renounce US citizenship.

    Not as easy as that, before you renounce the IRS does a full investigation of ALL of your tax filings from birth, then if they don’t get you there, you are taxed on your current assets at 35%. They treat it as if you sold everything you own and the tax man cometh. This is their last chance to tax you so I assure you they will find something (even fabricated) to take all they can from you. Once that is done, then you can renounce, you cannot renounce until the IRS signs off on you. Comforting isn’t it.[/quote]

    Especially comforting knowing that the IRS is not even a part of the US government. It is a private company which collects taxes which go to foreign banks.

    The easiest and cleanest solution to escape the clutches of the IRS is to renounce US citizenship. What is the value of keeping a US passport? What is the intrinsic value of US citizenship if just about anyone with a pulse can become one?
    What protections do the US government offer you if you are also a Costa Rican citizen?

    Maravilla, I would not even respond to that evil nonsense aimed at you. I knew a topic like this would draw the scum from the ooze. Its hard to stay on topic when that kind of hatred hatches out within the thread. Nobody is going to change corrupted minds like those with historical facts and logic.

    The only freedoms I or anyone else has are those that can’t be taken away by force. I can’t think of any freedoms anyone has right now which can be guaranteed. It will be interesting to see if the 2nd amendment can be cancelled.

    I unload dollars for silver. Got any silver you want to trade for $30 an ounce? You know, at one time, a dollar bill was worth one ounce of silver. What has happened to the dollar bill?

    Fiat paper currency has always, always gone to zero value throughout history. The average life time of a fiat currency is about 40 years. Find me an example which contradicts this.
    Gold and silver in 5000 years have NEVER gone to zero because they are real money.

    The dollar and the pound sterling have been the only fiat currencies which attained the status of a world currency so their life spans may exceed the average 40 years. But by how many years? Once empire goes, the paper funny money goes as well.

    Here is an easy solution; educate people to dump their stupid contentious religions in exchange for more rational and realistic world views. It’ll never happen in our life times because religion, like debt, has been firmly entrenched in the world for control. But in the meantime, I can’t keep quiet when I see Zionist apologists parroting corporate media lies.

    If I must pick a side in this insane contest, I will side with the oppressed Palestinians on every issue. But I have to be careful to temper my emotions. There are Israelis who oppose their Zionist government. As always, the real monsters are the Israeli elitists.

    [quote=”VictoriaLST”]So, we are staying on topic? No more invective? No more personal insults? That would be a pleasure.

    First, have we decided that Israel has the right to exist?[/quote]

    Depends upon the definition of “right to exist”. They certainly dont have the right to exist at the expense of others.

    Another question is whether or not Israelis can learn to get along with their neighbors. Their behavior, historically, has pissed off their neighbors.

    I agree with maravilla’s positions on just about every issue we have seen here. And this one is no exception. It is difficult not to become angry at opposing views on this matter after one has seen so many photos of dead Palestinian babies and mangled palistinian children after Israeli occupation forces decide to punish their prison population. But I remind myself that ignorance of evil is rampant and is engineered by evil.

    I can’t believe there are still opinions which favor Zionist genocide, or ANYONE’S genocide anywhere. How can people become so lost and so brainwashed these days when hiding the truth has been made more difficult by the Internet?

    Costa Ricans have a right to be proud of their little country. Costa Rica seems to consistently take the humane and intelligent position on so many issues.

    The debt is not real if the money in which it is expressed is not real, and we are not dealing with real money here. This is pure logic and is factual, Wagonner. In addition to this ridiculous situation, we have the following:

    The Fed creates this unreal, fiat currency (the principal) out of thin air and loans it at interest. But the Fed never creates the currency with which to pay the interest of the loan. So we have debt with no way to pay it all off built into this stupid, fraudulent system of fake money. The debt is a fraud employed on an ignorant population in order to control that population.

    There is no question here as to what Morisi is. Anyone who claims extraordinary powers under ANY circumstances is a megalomaniac by definition. Any cItizens who sit by and let this happen out of fear of foreign armies or terrorism deserve what always follows: permanent loss of any republic they may have had and loss of freedoms.

    This has already happened in the US last century. If your freedoms can be removed or so easily taken away, you never really had them to begin with did you?
