That’s the best idea of the night. From J.B. Shurk at americanthinker.com:
What if the federal government shut down and nobody cared? I know what you’re thinking: How can we possibly survive without millions of government bureaucrats micromanaging our lives? Is life even worth living if some self-important cubicle king isn’t putting me on hold before demanding that I resubmit the revised Form K-12.6.2 of the updated rules and regulations regarding how I may and may not use my private property on odd-numbered days within calendar months that include Hindu holidays?
As a descendant of those who crossed the American wilderness and settled the frontier, I like to think that my ancestors weren’t risking their lives for the sake of bureaucracy. If anything, they were most likely running from bureaucracy. They left Europe to escape monarchs who restricted how they could pray and what they could own. They explored the American frontier to build lives beholden to none. I’ve never found a diary entry in the family records that moaned, “If only the federal government would establish an Internal Revenue Service to take half of everything we have so that it can pay the salaries of an army of Environmental Protection Agency know-nothings willing to instruct us on how we can legally use our land.”
When you think about it, the people who built this country did so to get away from the very thing that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries insist we must fund: Big Government. You don’t venture out into no man’s land to build a whole new world from scratch unless the old world’s rules and regulations are so oppressive that risking death each day is preferable to living under the yoke of government.
Freedom is still to be had in the wilderness?
Or what is left of it.
IRS audit as a lil’ shaver was fun, parents would kick my shins when I revealed too much.
The bureaucrat wasn’t all that smart thankfully.
