    My Nation States is better than yours.
    The Rogue Nation of Stryker2025 is a small, economically powerful nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 18 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

    There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.

    Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the tenet of free speech is held dear, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and thieves are flogged in public for their crimes. Crime is crippling. Stryker2025's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the precious metals.

    Stryker2025 is ranked 1st in the region and 53,649th in the world for Most Politically Free Nations.

    A joyous day for liberty

    A Shreveport attorney who has challenged the government for years on the legality of filing federal income taxes has been acquitted on charges he failed to file returns.

    A federal jury unanimously found Tommy Cryer not guilty this week on two misdemeanor counts of failure to file.

    And according to Cryer, the prosecution dismissed two felony charges of tax evasion prior to trial.

    Attempts by The Times on Thursday to reach U.S. Attorney Donald Washington or Bill Flanagan, first assistant U.S. attorney, were not successful. Calls made to the two were not immediately returned.

    "The court could not find a law that makes me liable or makes my revenues taxable," Cryer said. "The Supreme Court has ruled that the government cannot impose an income tax on anything but the profits and gains. When you work for someone you give your service and labor in exchange for money, so everything you make is not profit or gain. You put something into it."

    Cryer was indicted last year on two counts of tax evasion. The indictment alleged he evaded payment of $73,000 in income tax to the Internal Revenue Service during 2000 and 2001.

    Cryer created a trust listing himself as the trustee, and received payments of dividends, interest and stock income to that trust, according to the indictment. He also was accused of concealing his receipt of the sources of income from the IRS by failing to file a tax return on behalf of that trust.

    "I determined that my personal earnings were not 100 percent profits, some were income," Cryer said. "I refuse to file, I refuse to pay unless they can show me I have a lawful reason to pay."

    "What I earned was my own personal labor. I am giving something in exchange. I'm giving my property and I don't belong to anyone else."

    Cryer says he stopped filing returns more than 10 years ago after he investigated claims that income tax was a sham. He contends the law doesn't actually tax personal earning.




    You know what this means folks? The battle is finally coming to a close with this important ruling. No more will the people be blindly taxed for everything that they earn, and no more will we slave away for 120 days a year to pay for our taxes.

    You heard me right folks, according to the http://taxfoundation.org">Tax Foundation the average American works 120 days out of the year (roughly 1/3 of the total year) just to pay for their taxes. This is full 15 days longer than we work to pay for food, clothing, and housing combined.

    This could potentially lead to the average citizen nearly doubling their economic power within the market and to give them more of a voice in our government as well. Economic freedom is a necessary precondition to political freedom as without economic power we have no say in our government or how our lives are run, or even to an extent what products and companies we support. With additional economic power, the people will no longer be forced to buy the cheapest product. The poorest among us will be capable of these decisions and force irresponsible businesses out of the market if they do not shape up and change their ways. The poorest among us could afford healthier nutrition, and even secondary education. It is possible to 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' as it were, and the government has prevented this for too long.

    Please, copy and paste this bulletin in it's entirety in order to pass it on to others if you believe in our cause. Hell, even if you don't do it anyhow.

    A quick convo, and it's public!
    Me: "If you want to redistribute the wealth, why don't you come to my house with a gun and do it and see how well you fare instead of letting the government do it. At least it's more honest."

    Other fella: first we get the government to confiscate your gun psyco..

    Me: You just made my point. Your use of 'we.' The tyranny of the majority uses the role of government force to deprive others of their life, liberty, and property. Like I said: Come do it yourself, at least it's more honest.

    Quick addition: The police are for the protection of the populace. The populace is endangered by the threat of criminals for every continually stringent law placed to keep us from those things that won America it's freedom. By all rights, the police ought to be on my side to protect not only themselves, but the people they are tryng to protect as well. Unfortunately, they aren't. As you seem so fond of accusing other people of being, I am afraid you are wrong. The people in this community are not brainwashed. It is you, and the so-called 'civil servants' of this nation who believe that they are doing what is best, when every action you and your ilk have taken for the last 100 years has led this nation to it's great disparities of wealth which you would like to rectify by further depriving the people of their rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. By depriving us of those things that have made us great.

    Your time of intervention is over.

    Friends Only


    I'm usually a pretty trusting person, and had wanted to keep my livejournal open in order to really keep the opportunity for meeting new people open as well. Unfortunately, because of the actions taken by certain well-meaning (albeit misguided) people, I was forced to make my livejournal friend's only. Not only that, but I am going to be somewhat more cautious in regards to who I accept in here as friends because although making it friends only, it doesn't do jack shit if you don't look into people's stories before you add them as a friend.

    So, comment, give yer story, and I'll consider adding you.
