Goldman is the great american bubble machine, and it's disgusting.
"From tech stocks to high gas prices, Goldman Sachs has engineered every major market manipulation since the Great Depression -- and they're about to do it again"
So hypothetically if someone wanted to opt-out of this essentially corrupt system completely, how would they go about it? I mean paying taxes in a country with bailouts certainly ties you up into the system. Even without bailouts, living in a country tied to a dollar that's being printed like mad kind of ties you up into it too right?
So... how exactly would one go about this? Possible?
Even if you own your own home, you typically still have to pay taxes. You may have to earn some income if you don't have money saved up for your taxes, so you'll probably have to pay income taxes as well.
Bottom line, it's difficult to fully opt out. But what you suggest is not a bad start.
If only they had a solution for defending themselves and an answer to why national governments would deal with them (i.e., seasteads are unlikely to be self-sufficient, even in the aggregate, for many years if ever and therefore dependent on trade with existing national polities).
