    Which he is free to do in that remote cabin. Or, he can choose to stay where he is and not pay taxes. Somehow I don't think that will work out so well for him though.

    The topic is a new subsidy and a new tax.
    Your false dichotomy is cute, but adds nothing to the conversation

    Yes. I've learned enough. There are no special people who are superior to the rest of us and have the right to take other people's property.

    Trying to force people to only talk about what YOU want to talk about is asinine.

    BTW....YOU chose and continue to choose to engage with me. Seems you just want to complain.
