Your Money or Your Life:
What's Behind the Latest Government Scam to Rob You Blind?

"The fact is that the government, like a highwayman, says to a man: Your money, or your life. And many, if not most, taxes are paid under the compulsion of that threat. The government does not, indeed, waylay a man in a lonely place, spring upon him from the road side, and, holding a pistol to his head, proceed to rifle his pockets. But the robbery is none the less a robbery on that account; and it is far more dastardly and shameful."—Lysander Spooner, American abolitionist and legal theorist

If a cop wrongfully attacks you, you cannot fight back.

If a SWAT team wrongfully raids your home, you cannot defend yourself.

If a highway patrol officer wrongfully takes your money or your valuable possessions, you cannot get them back without a lengthy, costly legal battle.

It used to be that the Constitution served as a bulwark against government abuses, excesses and wrongdoing.

That is no longer the case.

Having been reduced to little more than a historic document, the Constitution now provides scant protection against government abuses, misconduct and corruption.

Not only are "we the people" painfully vulnerable to the whims of any militarized cop on the beat, but we are also sitting targets for every government huckster out to fleece the taxpayer of their hard-earned dollars.

We get taxed on how much we earn, taxed on what we eat, taxed on what we buy, taxed on where we go, taxed on what we drive, and taxed on how much is left of our assets when we die.

Because the government's voracious appetite for money, power and control has grown out of control, its agents have devised other means of funding its excesses and adding to its largesse through taxes disguised as fines, taxes disguised as fees, and taxes disguised as tolls, tickets and penalties. For example, red light cameras, which were sold to the public as safety measures, have in practice become backdoor taxes aimed at swelling government bank accounts.

The government's schemes to swindle, cheat, scam, and generally defraud Americans have run the gamut from wasteful pork barrel legislation, cronyism and graft to asset forfeiture schemes, the modern-day equivalent of highway robbery, astronomical health care "reform," and costly stimulus packages.

Americans have also been made to pay through the nose for the government's endless wars, subsidization of foreign nations, military empire, welfare state, roads to nowhere, bloated workforce, secret agencies, fusion centers, private prisons, biometric databases, invasive technologies, arsenal of weapons, and every other budgetary line item that is contributing to the fast-growing wealth of the corporate elite at the expense of those who are barely making ends meet—that is, we the taxpayers.

Those football stadiums that charge exorbitant sums for nosebleed seats? Our taxpayer dollars subsidize them. Those blockbuster war films? Yep, we were the silent investors on those, too. Same goes for the military equipment being peddled to local police agencies and the surveillance cameras being "donated" to local governments.

Now the government and its corporate partners in crime have come up with a new scheme to not only scam taxpayers out of what's left of their paychecks but also make us foot the bill, and it's coming at us in the form of a war on cash.

What is this war on cash?

It's a concerted campaign to do away with large bills such as $20s, $50s, $100s and shift consumers towards a digital mode of commerce that can easily be monitored, tracked, tabulated, mined for data, hacked, hijacked and confiscated when convenient.

According to economist Steve Forbes, "The real reason for this war on cash—start with the big bills and then work your way down—is an ugly power grab by Big Government. People will have less privacy: Electronic commerce makes it easier for Big Brother to see what we're doing, thereby making it simpler to bar activities it doesn't like, such as purchasing salt, sugar, big bottles of soda and Big Macs."

Much like the war on drugs and the war on terror, this so-called "war on cash" is being sold to the public as a means of fighting terrorists, drug dealers and tax evaders. Just the mere possession of cash is enough to implicate you in suspicious activity and have you investigated. In other words, cash has become another way for the government to profile Americans and render them criminals.

The rationale is that cash is the currency for illegal transactions given that it's harder to track, can be used to pay illegal immigrants, and denies the government its share of the "take," so doing away with paper money will help law enforcement fight crime and help the government realize more revenue.

Seems true.  It seems that we always owe the government with money.  Low salary then huge tax and then some military uses their power to opress us.  From corrupt politicians to soldiers to cops even a traffic enforcer asking us money.  I would choose life over money so I will give my money to them because they do not have a life. :D

Those were corrupt people which always turns out to be public officials, government personnel.  They already have there salary but it seems like we akways owe them with simple things they make to us. 

I love my life and would just let them take my money but I will make sure that they will learn something from me.

i partially understood what  you mean and i completely agree with your some ideas over not letting anybody steal your money easily. All the people are working for hard to make their ends meet. For that reason, nobody has right to steal it.. you are perfectly right.

It's sad that instead of serving the people, they will use their positions instead to get money from people. That's why election is so important for some politicians because by having power over the public, they can use it to protect themselves in case people will discover their wrongdoings. Corruption cannot really be prevented especially if they see that others are doing it and getting away with it without being caught because their superiors are also doing it. They are already earning and it's not just enough because of their greediness so they are making ways to get more from people who have no power because they knew that powerless can't fight them back so they are taking advantage of their positions. For those powerless people, they will just choose to have their money being taken than to exchange it with their life or their loved ones.

Leaving is what death is.

The point of the article is to wake enough people up to the fact that tax is simply stealing. If enough people wake up, they just might do something about it. If they do, they will change things to "Keep your money and your life."

They do have power to ruing your life. But consider. you have way more power than you think. How do you know this? They haven't ruined your life yet. But they would if they could. They haven't ruined your life because common law and the jury keeps them in fear of you.

The best we can do is join with others and use the jury to nullify all of their stupid laws that are against us... including money laws. And we need to do it before they take the jury away from us. Look into jury nullification.

In that point he can't use his money because he lose his life ,but taking to choose life is a good one .you can live without money but you will be the poorest of the poor .planting rice and vegetables for you to eat.
Government now is so corrupt .they are taking advantage of using their power to threaten the peoples around them.
They already have the money but still they want more and more now i believe money is the root of all evil .

Yeah i think they are choosing bitcoin because of anonymity of bitcoin if they keep track all our transaction i am sure the price will decrease because they dont want to know about their real identity while they are using bitcoin.

But if you are living in a segregated place something like an offgrid, I think money is partially useless.If you are growing your own food,raising animals for food,gardening,a solar panel I think you do not need a big amount of money and even making money is not a big priority.

Both is important.
Of course, life is more valuable than money but without money your life will be very miserable.
In fact, we need balance in our lives, internal and external.
If we don't have balance in life, we will be unhappy and often miserable.
So, we need to develop both in our lives.

There are places in the world where people live without money.

Poor places in the world have many people who live with very little money. They barter.

Before money came into being, all people lived without money.

Money can make life easier, but it can also make it easier for criminals like the big bankers to control you through your money.

Our best bet is to consider that everything in life is money, and barter this way when the price is up, and that way when the price is down.

If we are talking here about a choice between money and life, then for me I would choose first money. I'm not saying that  money is life itself but money is a necessity for living. Nowadays, majority needs money to eat, drink, dress, transport, protect selves, etc. Of course there are some who lives without money, literally. But for that case, they live in an outmoded way. I mean, they are those who are still in the very traditional way of living that even a cent is not needed to live. So just imagine about it. But then even though money is hardly needed to live, we should precious our lives by not abusing it with money itself.

Correct, and you can still have a happy and meaningful life even if you have no money. Skills and being industrious is a good way to start a living. In a community in far flung areas, even there is scarcity in money but they are enjoying their life, far from the hard life in big cities.They have always fresh vegetables and fruits to eat.

I have been a farmer and I can say for sure that I can not live without money. To grow vegetables you need to invest the money - to buy seeds, fertilize the plant. It just seems that everything can be grown on their own land. Not all. And it's very hard to do

It used to be that the Constitution served as a bulwark against government abuses, excesses and wrongdoing.

That is no longer the case.

Having been reduced to little more than a historic document, the Constitution now provides scant protection against government abuses, misconduct and corruption.

Not only are "we the people" painfully vulnerable to the whims of any militarized cop on the beat, but we are also sitting targets for every government huckster out to fleece the taxpayer of their hard-earned dollars.

We get taxed on how much we earn, taxed on what we eat, taxed on what we buy, taxed on where we go, taxed on what we drive, and taxed on how much is left of our assets when we die.

Because the government's voracious appetite for money, power and control has grown out of control, its agents have devised other means of funding its excesses and adding to its largesse through taxes disguised as fines, taxes disguised as fees, and taxes disguised as tolls, tickets and penalties. For example, red light cameras, which were sold to the public as safety measures, have in practice become backdoor taxes aimed at swelling government bank accounts.

The government's schemes to swindle, cheat, scam, and generally defraud Americans have run the gamut from wasteful pork barrel legislation, cronyism and graft to asset forfeiture schemes, the modern-day equivalent of highway robbery, astronomical health care "reform," and costly stimulus packages.

Americans have also been made to pay through the nose for the government's endless wars, subsidization of foreign nations, military empire, welfare state, roads to nowhere, bloated workforce, secret agencies, fusion centers, private prisons, biometric databases, invasive technologies, arsenal of weapons, and every other budgetary line item that is contributing to the fast-growing wealth of the corporate elite at the expense of those who are barely making ends meet—that is, we the taxpayers.

Those football stadiums that charge exorbitant sums for nosebleed seats? Our taxpayer dollars subsidize them. Those blockbuster war films? Yep, we were the silent investors on those, too. Same goes for the military equipment being peddled to local police agencies and the surveillance cameras being "donated" to local governments.

Now the government and its corporate partners in crime have come up with a new scheme to not only scam taxpayers out of what's left of their paychecks but also make us foot the bill, and it's coming at us in the form of a war on cash.

What is this war on cash?

It's a concerted campaign to do away with large bills such as $20s, $50s, $100s and shift consumers towards a digital mode of commerce that can easily be monitored, tracked, tabulated, mined for data, hacked, hijacked and confiscated when convenient.

According to economist Steve Forbes, "The real reason for this war on cash—start with the big bills and then work your way down—is an ugly power grab by Big Government. People will have less privacy: Electronic commerce makes it easier for Big Brother to see what we're doing, thereby making it simpler to bar activities it doesn't like, such as purchasing salt, sugar, big bottles of soda and Big Macs."

Much like the war on drugs and the war on terror, this so-called "war on cash" is being sold to the public as a means of fighting terrorists, drug dealers and tax evaders. Just the mere possession of cash is enough to implicate you in suspicious activity and have you investigated. In other words, cash has become another way for the government to profile Americans and render them criminals.

The rationale is that cash is the currency for illegal transactions given that it's harder to track, can be used to pay illegal immigrants, and denies the government its share of the "take," so doing away with paper money will help law enforcement fight crime and help the government realize more revenue.

It's simple for you because you're a simple man just as your thinking...
In todays' time, humans isn't capable of "living" without money, depends on what you consider living, is it just breathng and your heart beating or living as in living like a normal modern person should. If you were to live without money (that would include no social benefits and no begging) you'd probably die in a few months from some illness or cold, depending on where you live. Also, no social shelter would be allowed because technically u're using someone elses money to stay in closed warm place rather than outside. Humans can't live without money nowdays, biologically, if you were from the urban area born and raised, your organism isn't strong enough to handle the effects of the open without medicine for illness or food and shelter.

Ofcourse I choose life over money. But what I want to achieve is financialLY free. Financial freedom is much more than having money. It’s the freedom to be who you really are and do what you really want in life. And many of us, especially women, lose site of this by putting others first and playing many different roles such as parent, spouse, employee, friend, and more. If you want to be financially-free, you need to become a different person than you are today and let go of whatever has held you back in the past. It’s a process of growth, improvement and gaining spiritual and emotional strength to become the most powerful, happy, and successful “you” possible. That is the true reward of financial freedom.

True, you cannot live without money but you cannot bring your money after you dead, all things that happen because of money, you work because you need money, you cannot buy a house, car, clothes, and other thing without money, so i think money and life is totally connected.

I trust the law but not that totally especially politicians. Some of their programs are good but not at all. They are eager to be in the position just for the power and for their own good. Once they have seated, they will no longer care for you, I doubt on their 100 percent of service, by the way I am not referring to all. They say if you want to change your life for the betterment, you should start it from yourself.

After all, money we can earn again but money we can't get back again.
We are all created beings and have both physical and spiritual body.
It's important to live good life on the earth in other to prepare our spirit for life in the spiritual world.
In spiritual world we don't need money, only love.
So, it's better to invest in own character, while we are on the earth, than to collect money.

You are absolutely right. And the further progress progresses, a person needs even more amounts of money. I'm not talking about expensive cars or houses, but take at least simple things that everyone needs, such as examining or treating a dentist's teeth. Now such prices for services, which not everyone can afford.

Well I'd be surprised if anyone would seriously choose money over their lives. Money is finite. It can only give you so much and it can even lead you sometimes to distress.

Yes, money really helps you in a lot of ways, but you don't have to worship them. Because if you just live for money, then you will not be happy. You just need to earn money to enjoy life with your family. But if you have a wife, then both of you should have a separate money because we don't know the future.

I agree that money is important but love is even more important in our lives.
In fact, it's important to have good balance in our life.
Without money is very difficult to live but without love is even more difficult, believe me?
After all, if love exist, and two people are united, they will be happy even with less money.
If people have money but no love, they will not be happy even if they have millions $$$ on bank account.

When viewed with subjective, my answer is "life". However, if the answer is tendentious I will proudly say "money". If we think of more advanced ratio, money can provide a decent life, and "wife" will follow whatever decision we did.

In our reality, life without money is simply impossible in fact. People without money and with a lot of debts commit suicide or remain without a family or even cease to exist.

What's Behind the Latest Government Scam to Rob You Blind?

"The fact is that the government, like a highwayman, says to a man: Your money, or your life. And many, if not most, taxes are paid under the compulsion of that threat. The government does not, indeed, waylay a man in a lonely place, spring upon him from the road side, and, holding a pistol to his head, proceed to rifle his pockets. But the robbery is none the less a robbery on that account; and it is far more dastardly and shameful."—Lysander Spooner, American abolitionist and legal theorist

If a cop wrongfully attacks you, you cannot fight back.

If a SWAT team wrongfully raids your home, you cannot defend yourself.

If a highway patrol officer wrongfully takes your money or your valuable possessions, you cannot get them back without a lengthy, costly legal battle.

It used to be that the Constitution served as a bulwark against government abuses, excesses and wrongdoing.

That is no longer the case.

Having been reduced to little more than a historic document, the Constitution now provides scant protection against government abuses, misconduct and corruption.

Not only are "we the people" painfully vulnerable to the whims of any militarized cop on the beat, but we are also sitting targets for every government huckster out to fleece the taxpayer of their hard-earned dollars.

We get taxed on how much we earn, taxed on what we eat, taxed on what we buy, taxed on where we go, taxed on what we drive, and taxed on how much is left of our assets when we die.

Because the government's voracious appetite for money, power and control has grown out of control, its agents have devised other means of funding its excesses and adding to its largesse through taxes disguised as fines, taxes disguised as fees, and taxes disguised as tolls, tickets and penalties. For example, red light cameras, which were sold to the public as safety measures, have in practice become backdoor taxes aimed at swelling government bank accounts.

The government's schemes to swindle, cheat, scam, and generally defraud Americans have run the gamut from wasteful pork barrel legislation, cronyism and graft to asset forfeiture schemes, the modern-day equivalent of highway robbery, astronomical health care "reform," and costly stimulus packages.

Americans have also been made to pay through the nose for the government's endless wars, subsidization of foreign nations, military empire, welfare state, roads to nowhere, bloated workforce, secret agencies, fusion centers, private prisons, biometric databases, invasive technologies, arsenal of weapons, and every other budgetary line item that is contributing to the fast-growing wealth of the corporate elite at the expense of those who are barely making ends meet—that is, we the taxpayers.

Those football stadiums that charge exorbitant sums for nosebleed seats? Our taxpayer dollars subsidize them. Those blockbuster war films? Yep, we were the silent investors on those, too. Same goes for the military equipment being peddled to local police agencies and the surveillance cameras being "donated" to local governments.

Now the government and its corporate partners in crime have come up with a new scheme to not only scam taxpayers out of what's left of their paychecks but also make us foot the bill, and it's coming at us in the form of a war on cash.

What is this war on cash?

It's a concerted campaign to do away with large bills such as $20s, $50s, $100s and shift consumers towards a digital mode of commerce that can easily be monitored, tracked, tabulated, mined for data, hacked, hijacked and confiscated when convenient.

According to economist Steve Forbes, "The real reason for this war on cash—start with the big bills and then work your way down—is an ugly power grab by Big Government. People will have less privacy: Electronic commerce makes it easier for Big Brother to see what we're doing, thereby making it simpler to bar activities it doesn't like, such as purchasing salt, sugar, big bottles of soda and Big Macs."

Much like the war on drugs and the war on terror, this so-called "war on cash" is being sold to the public as a means of fighting terrorists, drug dealers and tax evaders. Just the mere possession of cash is enough to implicate you in suspicious activity and have you investigated. In other words, cash has become another way for the government to profile Americans and render them criminals.

The rationale is that cash is the currency for illegal transactions given that it's harder to track, can be used to pay illegal immigrants, and denies the government its share of the "take," so doing away with paper money will help law enforcement fight crime and help the government realize more revenue.

The government isnt scamming you but the corrupt people that the American people voted and placed in the government position. The big scammers are the citizens, they are scamming themselves. During the election they are the ones responsible for selecting government officials and if those people win it is not only the sin of the officials but also the people who voted for the wrong leader. Thus behind all of this are money, dont be mislead by money and use your rational thinking. Only in that way we can select good leaders who can give us good services and doesnt run just for profit or money gain.
