The past few weeks have been a bit depressing for me due to the absurdity of national politics here in the United States.

I broke my personal rules of not getting involved with national politics and the results weren’t pretty. I was thoroughly annoyed and saddened.

Until Sunday afternoon.

Which is when a young man in my neighborhood cheered me up by showing how it’s possible for someone who wants something to get it, no matter what stands in the way.

On today’s show, I share with you some thoughts on the power of choice which we all have. We have the power to choose what we do and when and how. 

Ultimately, the politicians don’t have the power over our lives. We have the power over our lives based on our choices.

I cover some ways for you to build more freedom and independence (especially in the area of taxes) by understanding the laws that you’re subject to and then simply avoiding the conditions of being subject to them!

Enjoy,

Joshua
