Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

Quote from Sparohok:

You guys think a 35-40% marginal tax burden on earned income is high? Compared to Europe? What a joke.

Do you know Bill O'Reilly, the Fox Network talkshow host? Some whining liberal was bitching about the taxes paid by the rich. O'Reilley said, "If you add up all the taxes I pay, it's 60% of my total income"....

In Europe I guess you guys have some sort of socialized health care and retirement. ?? In America, it's still "every man for himself" on top of the taxes.

Sick on both sides of the pond, I think.

You can be classed as a perpetual traveller, but you need a passport. There is a show just starting on BBC 2 in the UK. How to start my own country.

You wouldn't be able to get a passport or travel very easily. :eek:

You can buy an apartment in this ship:

It is constantly on the move and you have no resident home in any country.
This means you do not have to pay taxes to anyone.
It will coust you a shitload of money to buy tho.
A friend of mine owns two, he is asking some approx. 3M USD for one of them.

I guess it would leave me ripe for an invading army. Maybe Brazil would invade me with their female population. 18-25 year olds please.

I think it is beautiful to have to worry about taxes in this business.

No better proof you are trading well....

Don't you plan to have kids and send them to public school etc one day?

For that and for many other reasons, I think taxes are healty for a society, a necessary evil.

I have kids but no intention to send them to public schools.
