Well, I have no problem with that. You're absolutely right: if the state and society makes it impossible for us to be legally gainfully employed, then we should have no qualms about working under the table. Reminds me: last week I got into an argument with the two libertarians, freedave and andkon (freedave hates us with a passion), over at ID about living off the state. They both believe taxation is theft and attacked me for living off of their "stolen" money. I get $200 a month in food stamps--that's it. That is the extent of my living off the state. I reminded them that, precisely because of the attitudes of people like freedave towards MAPs, I am essentially unemployable in my town, and therefore I have absolutely zero qualms about the $200 of food stamps I receive every month. In fact, I said it was least society could do given the environment we are forced to contend with. And, well, I rubbed it in a bit by saying it made me happy that my receipt of their tax monies funded my meals. That wasn't necessary, but it was oh so pleasurable. :)
