Maybe December? So we all take money out of banks, at least current month salary, and spend cash only. I think that is something that shouldn't be hard to do and it would show if we, the people, have any power left to make positive changes for the future or we can just surrender and eat bugs.

Edit:

If I’m trading my only true value, my time, then I want to have 100% control over it, not to depend if some bank would freeze my account and I lost 1/3 of my life irreversible.

are you talking about "we, the people", not sure what you are referring to, but you can't know until you try, everything else is just assumption, and assumption is mother of all fuckups

It’s like I’m talking to ELIZA. You’ve got soup for brains.

I'm replying on particular posts to particular person, the only place I used "we" in context that "we are maybe not aware" is in original post, I can't read your mind that is for sure. Don't know want you meant by "this and that", and what "you Marxists on Lemmygrad" know, I can only see that you are talking for others, but I was replying to individuals.

It might be soup, but it serves me well for now. This online rants are not my real life. My life is quite good, I only pay too much of tax so I can't transfer earnings across multiple years and have to work every year instead to have some time off, like chilling...

Have you considered the possibility that, instead of getting overtaxed by the government being our main problem, it’s that we’re being underpaid by our employers?

What I think you’re unaware of is that the federal government doesn’t actually need our taxes to pay for anything. In fact, the federal government has infinite money. This is not true for state & local government, however, because they can’t create money out of thin air like the federal government can.
