Jason, I agree with you to an extent.
Here is the thing. Laws are arbitrary. We live under ad hoc government. They will break every precept of a just legal system if it is in their political or financial interest.
So while I am not telling people to explicitly break the law, understand that by following the laws, you're not actually any safer than if you broke the law. That's just a perception people have. When the Swat team is outside your house cause they think you are a drug dealer, the fact you have never smoked a blunt, is not going to keep them from knocking your door down and beating the fuck out of you.
Push the limits. Be smart about it. There are a lot of ways to arbitrage income earned in foreign jurisdictions with little paper trail or accountability.
Also, don't nobody PM me to ask about more info. If you can't understand the above, just keep paying taxes and don't do drugs.
