Great company.
Great product.
Let's get back on the show.
You know, Scott Horton, who of course you guys know as being like the best anti-war guy, but he had this, his analogy or metaphor for the IRS was the best, but where he said just, I think he said, imagine that we were conquered by the Soviet Union.
Like imagine we were just a free country, you know, so we were a capitalist free country, no central bank, no income tax, whatever.
And then the Soviet Union conquered us and they instituted the USS IRS.
So there's this new Soviet institution, and they declare that it's a crime to be a productive member of society, to be a productive member of the capitalist economy is now a crime.
And the punishment is that there's a fee.
If you're a productive member of society, we charge you a fee for the crime of working and producing.
And the more you work, the more productive you are, the higher that fee goes.
And we're abolishing the Fourth Amendment and the Fifth Amendment.
You're forced to incriminate yourself.
You have no right to privacy.
Open up all your books, incriminate yourself every year to the USS IRS.
And we'll go back 20 years if we want to.
We'll crush you for the crime of being a productive member of society.
