Which do you value more: money or freedom? (government, federal, implant)

Here's a hypothetical question: If the government told you you could be exempt from paying Federal taxes for the rest of your life in exchange for wearing a nonremovable, impossible-to-disable tracking implant, would you do it?

with money comes freedom, the more money you have, the more freedom you have, it's like that all over the world

Exactly.

Yet the very richest countries in the world are ones where most red-blooded American patriots wouldn't feel comfortable living, on account of their lack of civil liberties and/or their "socialist" economies: Qatar, Singapore, Norway, UAE, etc.

This is an interesting question. There is probably a reverse correlation here: The less money one has, the more tempted one could be to relinquish his freedom (permanent tracker) in exchange for a Federal tax-exempt status. Conversely, the more money one has, the less likely one is to accept the deal.

Money affords us more power and freedom.

Agree with other posters that 1 leads to the other in today's society.

I'm nearly broke as and I would never agree to this. My freedom is one thing I will not sell to get some extra spending money.
