What is there to rebel against?

Lol!! I had to watch that movie a semester or 2 ago in my Spanish class.

 

What did you think of it?

 

A bit boring, imo.. but not bad!

 

I will. But then I pay for my health care.

I cannot speak for others.

I imagine if they have not created enough wealth they will be owned by the system from cradle to grave.

Sad, but it is their choice.

 

I thought that the end was fantastic as it showed the duality behind their beliefs and that good (Jeremy Irons praying with some people) nor evil (De Niro fighting with the men of the tribe) prevailed. It left it open morally to the viewer which I really appreciated. It didn't try to tell you that one way was right and the other was wrong.

 

So by having all sorts of money to be able to do that, does that not make you a capitalistic force in itself? After all, having that money towards which a lot of it goes to taxes, (especially if you're in a higher tax bracket) then you're just feeding the machine with your taxes which makes you just as big of a problem as they are. Most people just don't see it that way because it is not their own hands on the wheel.

 

i rebel against rebelling

 

I understand what you say.

But as long as I am a US Citizen I am taxed on all worldwide income. If I do not pay they would send me to prison.


So what I do is use the system against the system.

Buy using current IRS laws I can make up to $90,000 tax free. Also some other neat tricks.

So no, I am not feeding the system in any big way.

However after I have 3 more passports I will be turning in my US Passport.

I will never depend on the government for nothing.

Anyone who does is a slave and a fool. It is time to wake up..

But hey, you wanted things to rebel against. Rebel or not what I said is true.

 

Exactly. If you can recognize these facts of life, or rather, the way society conditions us into thinking life should be, you can create your own reality, and maybe exploit the systems of society to create a bit of freedom for yourself, if you're entrepreneurial enough.

Are you going to live for a future that may never come or will you try to make the best of life as it is now? Sure, it's not a bad idea to plan for things to come, but the quality of your life right now should always be of paramount importance.

We can rebel against the people who want to enslave us by not buying into their bullshit. Take control of your own life, make actions count and do what you think needs doing. The reality we're told about is a big scam, all that matters is what we, as individuals, do right now.

 

You are turning in your US passport, I assume because you will be moving to another country. You will need to convert that $90,000. And then, in that other country, what will you do there? One cannot use the system against the system. The system is not it's own destroyer (in that sense). At the risk of sounding like an asshole, I think you may watch too many movies. Of course there is always a chance I may be wrong. Regardless of where you live (with the exception of both the Arctic and Antarctic regions, considering you are self-sustained) you will ALWAYS have to pay taxes, you'll always be under THEIR thumb, and you will always be IN the system.

 

Actually I have the facts. There are plenty of countries in which to not tax offshore income.

Sure you will always have to pay VAT taxes.

The Foreign Income exclusion is clearly US Law.

I have tax attorneys.

Now if you want me to start posting links that is fine. Seems you are more interested in arguing small points, than the original post.

I have to obey the law.

You are correct you are in the system in some way. But you do not have to be owned by it.
