The question arises: how can the American people use it against their natural adversary, the US government?<\/p>\n<p>Lies are always misrepresentations of reality, and reality always wins. The US government rests on an inherently unstable foundation of whoppers\u2014big lies so huge they would make big lie proponent Adolf Hitler blush\u2014some of which were detailed in the earlier article. The first trick to defeating an enemy is to ascertain its biggest weaknesses and the lies, which it feeds itself, flowing from those weaknesses.<\/p>\n<p>Every government craves as much of its country\u2019s resources as it can borrow, swindle, and steal. Our government\u2019s finances are a series of lies. The first is that most people who pay taxes do so voluntarily. That\u2019s a testable proposition. Make tax payments truly optional and voluntary, with no penalty and no civil or criminal liability for nonpayment. How much taxes do you think the government would collect? The taxes collected as a percentage of the taxes formerly collected would be an exact measure of the \u201cvoluntariness\u201d of the tax system.<\/p>\n<p>Closely linked to voluntary tax compliance is people\u2019s willingness to back the government\u2019s and the central bank\u2019s debt. Creditors loan the US government money because the government has first call on the income and wealth generated by the world\u2019s most productive economy. Besides the provision of a legal framework (currently a tiny part of its budget) the government has little to do with actual production, and often impedes it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Defeat Your Government In a recent article, \u201cHow to Defeat Your Enemies,\u201d SLL maintained that governments and their people were natural enemies, and that the most powerful adversarial tactic is \u201cgetting one\u2019s enemies to fool themselves.\u201d The article detailed the effective use of this tactic by Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda.
