WTF are you talking about!??

Just what kind of money are you using? Have you looked at it lately?
Mine says "Federal Reserve Note" on the front, has the name of the
country on both sides, and is signed by the Treasurer and Secretary of
the Treasury. Each bill has a picture of a dead president on the front
and, depending on denomination, the seal of the US or a picture of a
government building on the back. The government designs the money,
prints the money, sets its value, and regulates its use and supply.

To use a government created, controlled, and approved medium of
exchange and claim "It isn't the Government's Money" is startlingly
ignorant.

I see. Not only are you not familiar with the medium of exchange you
choose to use, you haven't read the U.S. Constituion either. FYI, when
the party taking money from your earnings is the government, it's not
called theft (which implies illegality), it's called an income tax
(which is perfectly legal, as spelled out in the sixteenth amendment).

After you check out the constitution, you might want to check out the
bible as well. Some of your other posts espouse creationism, so I'm
fairly sure you're a fan of the man who said "Render unto Ceasar what
is Ceasar's...".
