income tax, property tax, sales tax, this and that tax.  Poor people 

don't have to pay, middle class try to cheat, rich people hate it, and 

the ultra rich think taxes are for common folks.” “The word ‘tax' shall 

be removed from the human vocabulary for good. People are going to such 

a length to hide their money from taxes; like tax havens, off-shore 

banks, overseas banks, secret Swiss Bank accounts, money laundering, 

phony business expenses, all these just to keep their own money from 

tax. The whole business of evading taxes is a business by itself 

robbing fun out of making money. To add insult to injury, according to 

IRS it is not cost effective to collect tax from the tax dodgers, so 

the IRS gave up on them.  Taxes are like self induced injury, heart 

ache, pain and suffering.” 

“True, I feel the same way,” “I am with you on this.” 

“For instance, you moved to the state where there is no state 

tax. Last year you saved over thirty grand on state taxes your don't 

have to pay, though you do business across the state borders.” 

“That's right, everybody does that,” “Big corporations have 

their businesses established middle of nowhere where only seals and 

king penguins live in harmony.” “At least my business was established 

on the main land.” 

“After saw the big picture, I came with a plan for any country 

that doesn't want to impose tax on their citizens and businesses.” 

“Let me hear that,” Dan continued to shuffle the papers. “Pay as you go
for every product and service; It is called pay 

upfront. Instead of city tax, a bill for snow removal, street lights, 

maintaining drains, each month one gets bill for various services. If 

people flying don't want to pay for security check and take chances on 

air travel, that's that; no TSA at the airports.  People who can afford 

additional costs for security fly on flights that guarantee security 

for a price. From collecting garbage to open heart surgery, people pay 

from the pocket on the spot. If somebody has to sue somebody, a fee is 

paid up front at the court. 

“How you pay for a war?” 

“Let us say a government or a section of the society was 

itching for a war; costs and risks were quickly calculated and people 

or companies interested in taking risks would invest in the war 

enterprise, by buying stocks to reap the benefits or lose the 

investment, if enough money was not raised, no war will take place, the 

business venture would not take place, as simple as that.” 

“Same for providing health care, I guess!” 

“Yes, we are going back to the basic principles of true free 

enterprise, not the phony one currently in practice for scoundrels and 

con men to run ponzi schemes to make money.  If people were not willing 

to pay for a service or a product, they won't get it. The entire 

society doesn't have to pony up for others through taxes which 

everybody hates to pay including the beneficiaries.”  “There won't be 

any services from City, County, State or Federal level financed by 

taxes.” “Those people hiding their monies from taxes will bring it out 

to open once tax system is dismantled.” “Libraries, Museums, parks, 

beaches, Lincoln Memorial, Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Rushmore, Brooklyn 

Bridge, Bay Bridge etc; to visit or to use these places, people pay a 

fee up front, and the stock and bond owners of these facilities and 

structures either make or lose money on their investment, that 

simple.”  “Why bunch of idiots in any country decide for everybody in 

the name of democracy?”  “A parliament passes a bill that is diluted, 

full of loop holes, lost its main purpose, and in the end serves no 

purpose at all, and all these done to spend borrowed money.” 

“Sounds revolutionary to say the least and scary at any 

level,” “may be you should stop looking for the dots anymore to 

connect.” “To keep your mind calm, stick to your coloring books 

Juggernaut,” said Dan again reshuffling the papers on his desk. 

“Well, that's  I was doing all along before you asked me to 

look for dots and start connecting them to get the big picture,” “Now, 

you saw the big picture, you don't like it.” “I know I am only good in 

theorizing which nobody listens,” Juggernaut was furious.
