It's a standard cop-out. "'Merica; leave if you don't like it". Imagine if activists in the 60's had taken that advice. You realize the IRS != US? We got along

You realize the IRS != US? We got along financially just fine (some would say better) before it.
- Nursie 11y agoI'm not American, thanks, so no its not a standard opt-out. You have a choice of many countries in the world, with all sorts of different rules decided on by the people there.
- Nursie 11y agoI guess I'm trying to make a broader point than the IRS here - argue against the IRS and whatever other parts of government you like on a pragmatic basis, that's great. I just get riled up by the "It's wrong! They have no right to tax me! I have property rights!" stance, because it's inconsistent.
