      I’m sure the instrument in question to discharge the debt references the special trust they believe is setup for them as a Corporation in their name at birth. And somehow the government owns the trust and despite the same government funding this trust, they hope you never use it so the government can get the money back. That’s how they try to discharge the debt towards this mythical trust that, if you just know enough magical sovcit phrases, you can access as the ‘natural’ person named in the trust.

        Sounds a lot like socialism to me. With hoops.

        Most sovcits also seem to be the libertarian type where the thought of socialism burns them like they’re a witch. Makes sense since they’re trying to find the magic words to make their debts disappear.

        To be fair, that sounds pretty awesome. If we gave every baby 20,000 dollars and held it for them until college or 20 years old we could actually give our kids a much better start as adults. It would cost roughly 72 Billion dollars a year, about on par with Veterans Affairs. And yeah some of them are going to blow it on a car. But others will turn it into their retirement or get a house or use it for job training.

          I don’t know if you’ve noticed but our government has been doing the opposite if what is good for the citizenry for around 4 decades now and it’s not going to stop anytime soon.
