The older I get the more I see how the "land of the free" is not a true description of how we live. In my 37 years I have seen a transformation in this country. I have seen a population that relies more and more on the government and expects the government to solve their problems. I see the cost of education increasing at an astronomical rate which leaves many young people saddled with debt just as they enter the "real world." I see the government forcing healthcare on us which has increased costs, reduced options and left us in a terrible mess. I own a small farm but really it feels like a lease, yearly property taxes will never go away and if I choose not to pay them then my paid for land gets transferred to the government. The list of how we are taxed, compelled and governed could go on for probably 100+ pages.
Why do we work to have the government take 1/3 of our earnings with some of it promised back in some form in our twilight years by programs that are insolvent? Why do we strive to buy and then lease land and homes? As adults why can't we do as we please as long as it brings no harm to another person? Why do we have to fight and spend millions to keep some diluted form of what the constitution delegated as rights? When are we going to say enough already?
Have you ever thought of releasing this burden, breaking from these chains? Have you considered what it would be like if your town was occupied by like minded people? What if the corruption, government interference and nanny state were no longer an issue? Would you leave your country and take your family to somewhere that was truly free?
What if this place does not exist but it was a possibility? Would you want to be involved in such an endeavor? Would you fully support the creation of such a place? This may sound like fairy tales and unicorns but individuals that understand what I am saying can also feel their soul yearning for such a place.
Tell me what you think. Leave a comment, dwhntx on discord and hangouts. This is not a hypothetical, if we want this as a community then we can make it happen!
