And how do you feel about benefitting from federally subsidized programs, defense budget for example, while not contributing to them?

LOL. That's a guilt trip fallacy pushed by the left to justify stealing from poor innocent people.

First of all, I did contribute 4 years of my life to that under false pretenses and now get treated like a criminal for exercising the rights we were supposedly protecting.

Second of all, all fiat currency is printed out of thin air. It costs nothing to produce a new dollar and put it in circulation. So why do we pay taxes at all? Why do they need to steal dollars from us when they have an unlimited printing press? The only reason I can think of is to keep people from getting too wealthy, because when people have plenty of money and start getting leisure time to study new subjects, they tend to figure out they are getting screwed.

Regarding the ticket and stuff, it always depends how you play it. I messed up the first few times it happened and got my license suspended, then pulled over again and again for "driving after suspension". Never got a real chance to go to court over it because cases were backlogged due to covid.

But earlier this year I was pulled over, it was 2am, no traffic, going downhill and supposedly went over the speed limit of 35. Cop asks for my license, I hand her my passport, she asks why I don't have a license. I just say I don't participate in that system. She says to hold on. Makes me wait 20 mins. Comes back with a ticket for no license. I sign with a scribble and "V.C." above my mark. She let's me go.

Weeks go by. I never get anything in the mail, I go to court on the date written on the ticket with documents prepared and the clerk can't find my case, says it was never filed. That was months ago. Haven't heard a peep.

Can I say definitively that its all because of my passport and what I wrote on the ticket? No, but it's an interesting coincidence.
