HOW TO LIVE FREE: A guide to becoming a tax exile
Posted by overmanwarrior 9 years, 10 months ago to Culture
One of my son-in-laws worked very hard to become an American citizen. I still believe citizenship is a concept worth fighting for in spite of the obvious criminal takeover of the government by con artists and thieves. That is not an inflammatory statement, just a fact—the evidence is obvious. So I am torn by what I think is right and what might strategically make sense—which a close friend of mine has done—and is technically one of the freest people on earth. He is now an expatriate—otherwise known as a tax exile.
1. No more TSA, go around them at airports.
2. No hassle at Customs anywhere on Earth
3. No more Social Security (FICA) taxes
4. No more Income taxes
5. No more Public School Taxes
6. No Property Taxes (you decide if you want to pay for fire, ambulance)
7.No Traffic Tickets (unless you injure someone or drive super fast) They can still issue citations against you for public endangerment)
8. No zoning beyond ridiculous fire hazards etc.
9. No public officials may come on your property (some exceptions such as your house is on fire AND about to catch neighbors house on fire, then they can intercede.)
10. No prosecution or fine, or Incarceration for victimless crimes.
11. No child Protective Services or requirement for public schooling
12. No forced injections
13. No FEMA camp for you or your family
14. You can exchange your Equity in the United States Corporation as desired for the products, fixtures, “things” you need or would like to have instead of what the State thinks you should have.
15. You can live where you want, do what you want with your property so long as it doesn't harm others.
16. You can travel Freely.
17. You will have standing to remove and severely punish public officials or corporate officers if they do you harm. There are two different court systems one for free men and one for slaves (U. S. citizens)
The list goes on in that fashion extensively
It is the modern sense of going Gulch. But I have too much Henry Reardon in me for it. But others might not feel that way.

A very interesting article and presentation. One thing: Regarding the 9/11 false flag comment in the video I have little difficulty imagining it being used as a pretense to start the Iraq war. However, if there is the implication that the details were somehow known to be imminent on that day by the Bush administration, or that somehow they had a hand in it with total disregard for the thousands of American victims I can't make that conspiratorial leap. Perhaps I was reading more into his words than intended. What do you think?

The "How to Vanish" vid was informative, if superficial, but after roughly three minutes of that Ken O'Keefe's monologue on how much he hates America, how brilliant his San Diego college course "America The Racist" was, and how "Mossad had foreknowledge of the 9-11 attacks," etc., I had to bail in disgust.
As for the 17 points in Overman's lead post, the first thing that springs immediately to mind is the phrase "If it sounds too good to be true..."
The first question in leaving the US for good would that of finding a country that is: a.) less oppressive than America currently is, and b.) politically stable enough to avoid collapsing into a hell even worse. For instance, I've heard and read a lot in recent years about people retiring (expatriating) in places like Panama and Costa Rica. They're certainly benign-enough countries now, but given that each is surrounded by countries with far more malevolent elements and which are far larger and more politically (read: militarily) powerful, the decision is questionable if you're thinking long-term.
Something on which I was hoping to get some clarification is the distinction between renouncing one's citizenship altogether vs. "relinquishing" citizenship as Tina Turner did last fall in Switzerland -
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/in-t...
It's apparently more than just a subtle difference in bureaucrat-ese, but I'm still not clear on it and the WP article doesn't explain it well either.
I'm not a big fan of the Washington Post, but while I was looking at the story on Tina, I clicked another interesting article on the best and worst countries to expatriate:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worl...
It's surprising that New Zealand is shown on that map as being toward the "worse" end, because a lot of Americans have moved there. I'm also wondering what the status is of the countries shown in grey. Maybe "Don't even think about it?"
Art break: As a thoroughly opportunistic tangent, though I'm not a particularly-huge fan of Tina Turner, this vid of her duet with Eros ("the Elton John of Italy") is something every Objectivism-steeped individual should see, just for its sheer class. And it's got T-Lev on bass!

[Eros: "That's ok Tina, I didn't need that ear anyway." LOL]
Now I've heard of another way: "seasteading."

The right to say NO.
How can you not be hassled by Customs? If you come to the US, you still have to go through Customs. And it's not easier if you're not a US citizen.
What other country does not tax you?
The list might go on in that fashion extensively but I'm not buying that much of it is accurate or realistic. If it sounds too good to be true ...
Let me present a story about this person to confirm it. Years ago to make a few extra bucks I bought up a bunch of tickets to a Bon Jovi concert. I gave a few of those tickets to this same friend who then sold them to a couple of guys that we knew who wanted desperatly to go to the concert. Well, a week or so before the big concert these two guys were in dispute with my friend. My friend decided that he didn't want to go to the concert and sit near those guys, so he broke into their apartment and stole the tickets back.
We went to the concert and out of nowhere these guys attacked my friend and a big fight errupted. Apparently these guys bought tickets from a scalper and then found us at our seats. My friend came out on top of a pile and the other guys were thrown out without any disruption to the concert. Later that night those guys found me and told me how angry they were that my friend took their tickets. I asked them why they thought it was him--it could have been anybody. They said to me, "we knew it was him because he gave us our money back. Only your friend would break into somebody's apartment, steal concert tickets and leave behind more money than we paid for it."
There isn't a dishonest cell in this guy's body. He is very, very eccentric, but extremely honest.
Secondly, I believe you can still recieve your SS and Medicare.
NOW WHERE DO YOU WANT TO LIVE
Now if you're talking about simply relinquishing your U.S. citizenship and emigrating to another country, that's something totally different. Everybody already knows about that, and it's really not hard to do if you really want to.
