Yes, I think they have been duking it out since the fifties at least. I became aware of it watching a documentary about Joan Crawford, surprisingly enough. I imagine that is probably true in other industries also.Helen_Combe wrote: ↑18 Aug 2018, 01:43I’m a Brit too and recently cancelled my TV licence due to lack if faith in the BBC.

Thank you for providing the look up information to get me started. I have to say as a Brit, I do not have much faith in the BBC anymore. I always take into account who published the article and their motive. However, I do know someone who has family in Columbia so I will ask them about it. Thanks again.

I also wonder what would happen in this scenario. There is a bigger trend of people going off-grid and homesteading to get away from the hustle and bustle and be completely self sufficient. If entire communities did this and had no monetary income to garnish, I wonder how this would affect the economy nationwide?JHuschle519 wrote: ↑04 Aug 2018, 14:28There was one part of the news article chapters of this book that really got me thinking. What would happen if a large group of people just stopped paying their taxes? Yes, the IRS could garnish their wages and try to come after their possessions, but if people were able to find away to protect their assets or had so few assets that they didn't care, what would the government do? What kind of damage would it do to the economy? I don't think it will ever happen, but it is an interesting thought exercise.hsimone wrote: ↑04 Aug 2018, 11:30 While reading the articles that Kelly reads following the events that has occurred the last 50 years, leading to the current state of the world, what struck you? Was there something that surprised you? Was there something that you liked? Something that disturbed you?

This is a great view and very different from most of the views here. Your perspective and the question that results is thought provoking for sure.joycechitwa wrote: ↑29 Aug 2018, 10:39 The articles about the US government losing control and also about tax default that ends up kicking in martial law. That definitely is thought provoking and makes one wonder...what if it really happens?
