Looks like we have 3 choices: 1. Do nothing, keep paying taxes. 2. Tax revolt, give them nothing. 3. Open a Somalian daycare center, this would more than cover my tax liability. 🤔

Reason for a tax revolt? Stronger than BTC on halving day!
You should go one step further actually and start siphoning taxes by any means necessary. You should have been already doing this for as long as humanly possible.
The government spends trillions every year - much of it on waste, fraud, and abuse. It sucks, but a tax revolt isn't going to change that. The less they collect in taxes just means the larger the deficit - i.e. the more they will just borrow/print/debase dollars to make up the diffence. Of course, a tax revolt - like everything else - would be good for bitcoin, though. 😉
I love how your like too good to ever respond to my comments lol. Yes we need a tax revolt But not for the dumbass reasons you listed in that terrible article… Your tax dollars are literally funding genocide and and covering up the largest child sex trafficking operation in history…. But yea

The render to Caesar scripture is hotly talked about but is confusing and I haven’t heard of a good explanation. Do you mind sharing your findings?
He hates the sovereign citizen conversation. He’s extremely definition and contract driven. I would suggest he agrees with your post about opting out. Did you actually read his book?
I followed him and others before I learned the law. He is vastly missing the point and he has done things that may eventually land him in prison..The more he does, the longer it may take because they will sometimes let you keep fucking up to add to the rap sheet.
His website hasn't changed since I got caught up in that garbage. There's enough on there for me to see that he is still in the weeds. He has nuggets of truth, but you're seriously asking for trouble by following people like him. I've seen plenty of people get hung up bad on that shit.
If you didn’t watch all of 2.0 then you’re fear mongering… if you didn’t read his book then you have no position to point to his flaws. “Trust me I looked at his website” … is far from the ethos, do not trust, verify.
It’s not luck… it’s an army of legal scholars ending the class “US Citizen” because those contracts have empowered present day creation. Vs if you create your own living contracts. You said yourself that one must know their rights in the law. From watching on the sidelines… Brandon Joe Williams focused on providing court evidence is super appealing.
What’s sexy about how you operate as a living being? Are you showing others what you did for free? Are you creating videos that explain your way and giving case law plus definitions to back it up?

Thanks @dustygrooves Here are my thoughts... These passages describe an attempt by Jesus' opponents to trap him during his final week in Jerusalem. Religious leaders were increasingly hostile toward Jesus, especially after he cleansed the temple and taught parables criticizing them. They sought to discredit or to have him arrested (buy the romans). The passages posed a loaded question: "Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" An answer of "no" would mean he was in violation of Roman law for ensiting a tax evasion. Saying "yes" would alienate many Jews who resented Roman taxes and saw them as oppressive (the poll tax symbolized subjugation). Jesus asked for a Roman denarius (a coin used for the tax- made of silver btw). When shown one, he asked: "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" They replied, "Caesar's. Jesus then delivered his famous reply: "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." Jesus avoided the trap by reframing the issue around ownership and allegiance rather than politics alone. The coin bore Caesar's image and inscription, so it" belonged" to him ...pay the tax (check your "money" and see who's name is on it- spoiler alert, it says "Federal Reserve Note"). But humans bear God's image, give God your full devotion, loyalty, worship, and obedience (what truly belongs to Him). If earthly authorities demand what belongs to God (e.g., worship, moral compromise, or idolatry), God takes precedence.
