state citizenship
Actually, there are many people that live without the use of a social
security number and they choose to not have the "benefits" of social
security, interest bearing accounts, etc...
In return, they pay no license plate fees, they do not voluntarily give
jurisdiction of their driving over to the state by getting a driver's license,
they are not subject to ucc law, and many other benefits that are far
more valuable than social security. They don't have to pay into the system
and are therefore free to take that money and invest in gold/silver or
anything else they choose for their own retirement or disability
security and countless other benefits such as not being required to file
a federal income tax form anymore, etc...
It isn't an easy thing to maintain since there is a lot of convenient things
these people choose to live without...credit cards if they want one, etc...
but it can be done and is being done by a lot of people... I only personally
know a few and they seem to be happy with it.
I have to pick my battles so I personally choose to pay my extortion
payments but at least I do have a choice.
It is a myth that sovereign citizens pay would pay no taxes and wouldn't
have the infrastructure of a "civilized" society such as sewers, etc... as
you mention.
"In the Income Tax Act of 1913, Congress surreptitiously, by stealth and without authority, included an un-apportioned, direct tax on the salaries, wages and compensation of ordinary Americans and instituted withholding at the source."
The constitution DID allow for a direct apportioned tax before that. (not an un-apportioned)
“We have in our political system a government of the United States and a government of each of the several States. Each one of these governments is distinct from the others, and each has citizens of it’s own...”
United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875)
“...he was not a citizen of the United States, he was a citizen and voter of the State,...” “One may be a citizen of a State an yet not a citizen of the United States”.
McDonel v. The State, 90 Ind. 320 (1883)
“That there is a citizenship of the United States and citizenship of a state,...”

"A citizen of the United States is a citizen of the federal government ..."
Kitchens v. Steele, 112 F.Supp 383
“The governments of the United States and of each state of the several states are distinct from one another. The rights of a citizen under one may be quite different from those which he has under the other”.
Colgate v. Harvey, 296 U.S. 404; 56 S.Ct. 252 (1935)
“There is a difference between privileges and immunities belonging to the citizens of the United States as such, and those belonging to the citizens of each state as such”.
Ruhstrat v. People, 57 N.E. 41 (1900)
“The rights and privileges, and immunities which the fourteenth constitutional amendment and Rev. St. section 1979 [U.S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 1262], for its enforcement, were designated to protect, are such as belonging to citizens of the United States as such, and not as citizens of a state”.
Wadleigh v. Newhall 136 F. 941 (1905)
“...rights of national citizenship as distinct from the fundamental or natural rights inherent in state citizenship”.
