Excellent scene, on every level. Need to rewatch the whole thing -- it's been far too long. So, given my limited knowledge regarding this topic, if you don't want to be a slave to the system, it seems that there are two choices: Either opt out of the system entirely (start your own village, live off the grid, etc.) or do as Andy does and find the loopholes. Is there something I'm leaving out? Perhaps it's a faulty analogy but I had libertarian-minded friends who didn't approve of the government's excess spending, but were basically of the mind that hey, if the government's going to be so stupid, might as well take as advantage of it. So they lived off unemployment and kept claiming that check, year after year. I'm not saying it's necessarily the "right" way but it's a way.
Cool, I will check out the video! As always, I appreciate your thorough and thoughtful response. Fascinating stuff! I definitely want to learn more about this topic. But I think it starts from within and by claiming your sovereignty.
And yes, considering how much the system has taken from me, I'm all for taking back at least a piece of my share or at least find ways to prevent it from taking more! Sometimes it's actually quite simple. I grew up being one of those people who played by the rules and feared the consequences of not playing by them, but more and more I'm seeing how the whole thing is really one big game. The other day, I was opening a new bank account, and the woman said I had to pay a $2,000 peso "insurance fee." I simply said I couldn't pay it, and she didn't even bat an eye, just kept handing me forms and eventually opened my account!
