In a modern society, most do. You can work under the table, you can cash your checks at Walmart and you can pay your bills with money orders or at a payment location - so far. But most people work for a living and they get paychecks. The moment that happens, government can (and does) interfere. You can squat in your defaulted house if you wish as well. I will conceed that in this event sooner or later the bank will send someone perhaps with a weapoon to your home. the moment you draw on that person the rules change so, as some have been maintaining (especially Rob Roy), force may be applied.

Most times however, none is needed, there are far too many other ways for the government to apply pressure.

I don't want to hijack the thread but this is something that needs to be contemplated. Working as an employee is not something new nor is it uniquely American BUT why has it become so prolific? Why are the masses being herded into this employee slot or that one? Whatever happened to self-employment and entrepreneurship? It is being taxed out of existence. How many would rise up and say ENOUGH, if they had to write a check to the IRS, four times a year or if they had to pay ALL of their SS (which in many cases is more than the actual income tax)?

I don't try to be cheaper. Cheaper is not better. You want a real good roof or a real cheap roof? The quality work we do and top notch products we use is what keeps us going not cheap stuff that fails prematurely. Anyone who really wants it can do it and if you want it enough you can make it happen.

That's not nicotine USP. I tried to Google it but cannot find suppliers beyond the usual, tiresome Chinese wholesalers. cn
