While I admire your friend's moxy, most of us cannot live in such a state of constant uncertainty. The government has declared war on private property and is forcing free men to live off the grid and under the tax-collectors radar to survive. This is why the economy is grinding to a halt. I tell my son: "You don't want to own a home; anything you do own is a potential target of taxation or outright siezure; the business of the future is a cash business; to work on the books today is to be a wage slave and a sap."
