re: #687 jcm

Can I opt out of stimulus?
I’ll promise to only pay taxes on infrastructure I use. But will take care of my own health and retirement.

Sure. In New Zealand.

Capitalism in a Small Country [Peter Robinson]


Communism, as Boris Yeltsin famously declared, should have been tried in a small country first. Now a trial run in a small country has started to look like the best hope for capitalism.

Enter New Zealand.

Sir Roger Douglas, a prominent figure in the ACT Party, the party of traditional liberalism, has just proposed a sublimely simple new plan. Any New Zealander who agreed to provide for his own health insurance and retirement would receive his first $30,000 in income tax-free. And every dollar after that would be taxed at the flat rate of just 15 percent.
