"If, then, taxation is compulsory, and is therefore indistinguishable from theft, it follows that the State, which subsists on taxation, is a vast criminal organization far more formidable and successful than any "private" Mafia in history." Murray Rothbard

I almost did cry reading this.

The criminals are the Government for forcibly taking your earnings!

Can you imagine in the restaurant business, the electricity is nuts high and they want you to pay a tax on that too!!?? There are other ways of generating revenue, but this is blatant disregard for the people and caving in to WTO pressures. Government thievery and systematic removal of freedoms is what this is.

I have an idea...it's called a "voluntary tax" or state lottery. It works. It will pay the bills without the use of force.

I thought guns were illegal.

Hmm, well I hope we follow suit with America and relax a few laws!

Those customs officers you speak of sound like the problem by the way you describe it. Actually, I was told by a BNT employee the frogs likely came in through a soil or tree shipment. We have little to no resources to check through all the shipments that enter our country. Before you go accusing people of crimes without proof, do a little research.
