I'm not sure what to do about it. Voting doesn't do anything, and hoisting the red and black would only get me kidnapped or murdered.

"hoisting the red and black"? Google doesn't help (suggests maybe resorting to piracy, but that wouldn't result in you getting kidnapped/murdered), so would you explain that idiom?

  The most common anarchist flag is red and black.

You could move to Canada or somewhere so that you don't keep supporting the bad system with your tax dollars. That's about the only thing I can think of that might have any effect.

  Are you in Canada? Keeping up with the changes?

  I could, but I would continue owing taxes to the U.S. for 10 years after giving up my citizenship. I could move to a country that doesn't have an extradition agreement with the United States and refuse to pay, but I don't really want to limit myself to those countries. I could also make my living under the table, but that would be against the law. I wouldn't want to break the law, because if I did that I might get kidnapped.

    You only have to keep filing for 10 years if you give up your citizenship specifically for tax purposes. The US does enough evil that you're bound to be able to find some other reason for giving it up.

Why do you think it would get you kidnapped or murdered?
- anonymoushn 16y ago
  It is unclear to me what the punishment for sedition is, but I think it is safe to assume that it includes being kidnapped (arrested), and attempts to defend oneself against kidnapping (resisting arrest) are usually met with murder (use of force).

    Why couldn't you promote anarchism through the political system? Sorry, just had to laugh. Anyway, vote for Ron Paul and at least you might get something.
