It’s more likely than not his investments directly cause more deaths than they would through wars or whatever the American government you allege is doing you disagree with. Saying “I won’t pay taxes because I don’t agree with the government” is sovereign citizen level inanity. Especially because this dude has the power to move to another country anytime but chooses to abuse the system in this country. The least we can do is be objective about it and try to minimize such abuse.


1. Thinking avoiding (legally or not) paying taxes) for not agreeing with what the state does makes you someone who identifies as a sovereign citizen makes no sense. There are more than enough sane moral/ethical reasons why someone might want to avoid that... while still living in society and being a productive member of it. We're constantly sold the statism Kool-Aid that paying taxes is sacred and to turn a blind eye to how the money is used, but this is just not right. 2. He isn't even abusing anything. The state is abusing people's wealth, on the other hand.
