    It is TIME to be FREE! Starve the State!

    What ways can you think of, or do, to Starve the State?

    Each day that you get out of bed, think to yourself:

    "How can I circumvent the state?".

    One of the very best things you can do is to simply stand up PUBLICLY and defy their edicts, or policies if it's a multi-national corporation like WalMarx. I GUARANTEE you that there are more people around you, often MANY more who feel the same way you do but are just too afraid to be the first one to stand up.

    One thing that definitely doesn't work is protesting or petitioning public officials (unless you do it like Murdoch Pizgatti does http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...-Closure-Order). It amounts to begging permission and they just don't care. Monday night our city council here passed a mask mandate. Of the people who got up and spoke at the meeting before the vote, well over 60% were adamantly opposed and let them know that in no uncertain terms. Naturally, they ignored the majority of their constituents and passed it anyway.

    Not sure why you would call it WalMarx. Wal-Mart is probably the single best example of the free enterprise system working. I marvel at how efficient and innovative they are. Headed to go there right now to get some groceries.

    I hope I don't need an organ transplant but I agree. People should be able to buy and sell organs. If you live a subsistence life in India or Cambodia, selling organs to US citizens is good for the US citizen and good for the Cambodian. Trade is win-win.

    The ONLY solution that would work is for everyone to stop paying taxes, mandatory insurance, fees, fines and licensure. I paid taxes and ssi all my life. I thought about not paying taxes a lot of times and I probably could have gotten away with it. I would have had more money in my own pocket. I do feel like the main reason I complied and still comply with paying taxes ect is to keep the state off my back. Is that bribery or blackmail?

    Corporate Business works hand in Glove.. Both pushing the propaganda and profiting from it.

    ever notice that ALL Walmart's are Dual Purpose Buildings.??

    Walmart is a NGO that is Cooperative with current agendas.

    and yes I live with Walmart Employees.

    Washington, D.C. — Today, Walmart released its quarterly earnings report which showed Walmart’s tax rate dropped from 33% in Q1 of 2017 to 19% in Q1 of 2018. As a result of the TrumpTax, the drop in tax rate gave Walmart an additional $373 million in tax breaks.

    The idea should have never been Legalized.

    Not really sure how to respond. You keep posting data from Marxist front groups. This is Ron Paul Forums. Corporate tax cuts aren't giveaways. A corporate tax probably doesn't even make sense because of how inefficient it is. And of course, corporations should exist. As Mitt Romney would say, corporations are people my friend.


    Corporations don't pay taxes. People do. If you lower the corporate tax rate one of only three things can happen. They pay workers more which is taxable. They pay a dividend which is taxable. The lower the price of their product which is an income increase for the consumer and will likely be spent else where which will be someone else's income which is taxable.

    I guess start by reading Economics in One Lesson.

    Weird info there, since Walmart is one of the bond sellers that the Fed is now currently (officially) monetizing under the Corporate Bond SPV. Isn't that SPV backed by Treasury ESF funds that the Fed is now fractionalizing to buy corporate bonds with? Walmart is now officially and publicly state-owned.
    Additionally, any business "registered" with a state Secretary of State becomes property of that state under the state's trust. The state corporation becomes trustee of the business, thus title holder of the business. pcosmar is correct. Rushing to label such truth with buzzwords about conspiracy and Communist propaganda is a sure sign of deflection. The irony is that Communism is the means of production centralized under the government. It already is!

    Corporations are "persons" under legal terminology. Romney was lambasted for his statement but legally he was right. A "person" is a corporate entity, it is not a living flesh and blood man or woman. Hence why police refer to finding something illegal (drug, gun, etc) "on your person", which leads to an arrest. Strange choice of language there, eh? It's because the "person" is the ALL CAPS NAME corporate entity (yet another trust) that you labor for and is identified on the identification card that you handed to the cop when he approached you and asked for it or pulled out of your wallet/purse as part of a search. Think of the "person" as the ice cream shop on the corner with the signage that says "Haagen Daaz". Haagen Daaz is the name on the identification card. That is the "person". You, the living flesh, are the human in the uniform running around inside scooping ice cream.

    Corporations were once Illegal and considered Immoral.. until that $hit was Legalized.

    The socialist Coup of 1913 solidified Socialism in this Country..

    And Walmart was one of the few Corporations allowed to continue operations through this Government/Media Created Panic

    At the expense of many businesses that will never recover.

    Bondholders don't own a company. Equity holders do. .

    The number he cited was false. I addressed the point directly and then called the groups he cited as Communist, which they are.
