That's not true. I am not "...free to move off the grid and off the road system..." (If I were, I would). Every year, for the remainder of my life, and that of my heirs, the off grid property on which I would live is assessed property taxes-long after the land is paid off. So no matter what, I am forever beholden to the government for the "right" to live simply or to just simply live. I am, and will forever be, a vassal to the government. I can never truly leave the cash economy. I will always have to work at a job to raise money to pay property taxes. Forever. As long as property taxes exist, there can never be true freedom.
