All I wanted to do was live life off the land without interference, guess from what you are said it's too much to ask for...

People on this forum are generally the un-nuanced peasants of yesteryear who now have white collar jobs.

>Thankfully there are many alternatives.

What exactly are they?

(the last I checked is that it's virtually impossible to live somewhere (even remote) off the land, without paying a ton in taxes, if you did succeed in some manner without attracting attention in a remote place it would soon get the attention of authorities in due course).

Well if that manifesto influenced you, have a look at my profile and the link on it which have my cynical writings.

Good, let tax some minority/marginalized section of the society so that their living becomes hell.

I was thinking more along lines of 100% ... But hey, point taken taken, we are generally in agreement.

>The US was practically founded on principle of refusal to pay unfair taxes

What exactly is a fair tax?

Good governance at it's very core is the right people at the helm of affairs.

Getting the right people is a really hard task, one really has to wade through several thousand people to find that needle in a haystack.

Defining what is 'right', is like defining what a Unicorn is i.e almost surreal.

>how could you design governance for a high-end nursing home so that the facility perpetually serve the rotation

I have been thinking of this problem for decades I think, and unfortunately the solution seems to be what I have alluded above.

Born a slave, you are most likely to die a slave. The never ending treadmill of marriage, mortgage, taxes, limited life span, nuclear family, oppressive regulations etc. will generally ensure that it is really difficult to start a startup for most mortals.

Remember: the failures are never spoken off, and successes become stuff of legends. Good luck.
