You are an Agorist too!

Day 1,100, 00:33 Published in USA India by Satya Yuga


Whether or not you know it, you are also an Agorist.

To some extent, you are looking to withdrawal yourself from government control. When you hire a babysitter to look after your children, you don't pay payroll taxes and you don't withhold Social Security, state and federal taxes. At the end of the year, you don't declare the babysitter's income to the government. If you are the babysitter, at the end of the year, you don't declare the income you made.

When you trade a bucket of your excess lemons that have grown from that lemon tree in your backyard with your neighbor for several of the tomatoes that were grown in his garden, and don't declare this income to the taxman, you are engaging in a voluntary exchange that is forbidden by the state. You are engaged in counter-economics. You have become a member of the underground economy, the "counter economy", a member of a peaceful "black market". You have become an Agorist.



When your organization receives raw materials from overseas in minute amounts to avoid paying import taxes and transfers them to your company to manufacture your product, you have become a member of the "counter economy". You have become an Agorist.

Be proud of getting your neck out from under the boot of the state. Be proud to be an Agorist.
