Taxes.
US parking space requirements. As a brick-and-mortar business, you cannot open shop unless you meet the minimum parking requirements in your city or state. These requirements were set in the 50's when the auto was starting to take over the streets. The minimum number of spaces are totally made up and not based on any statistical trends, they tend to overshoot the parking that is actually required. This leaves us with 4 parking spaces for every vehicle in the US and it means that businesses in old towns have to buy up and demolish historic buildings to make enough parking to open shop. Parking lots are also expensive! And companies pass along that cost to the customer in their prices. Even if the customer does not own a car, they are paying for the parking spaces of other shopper's cars.
Here's the video that taught me about this:

yeah this one is wild. i believe there is also a fire truck requirement that makes it impossible to build narrow municipal streets… further contributing to making american towns un-walkable.

In a similar vein, disabled access to all buildings. If you are on crutches you do not belong in my building, its an industrial environment and people have been maimed or died in many stupid ways just walking around places like this, you are a liability. Forcing us to have wheelchair access doesn't make sense if we aren't going to allow (and we shouldn't) wheelchairs in the building.
reply
Yes, these are similar because not driving a car is a disability
reply
Well, its similar in the vein of the burden companies are under to accommodate people.

In Milan, Italy it is a legal requirement to smile all the time (only exception is hospital and funerals). Even while paying taxes.
Seriously, I don’t mind old ridiculous laws.. it’s the new ridiculous ones we have coming that are the problem.
reply
The problem is not with the stupid laws, are just words on a paper. The problem is with those people obeying them...

Much more simple to make a list of the valid ones. No individual or group should be able to commit violence on another group or individual except in defense of person or property.
This is the starting point. I think you'd really need to work hard to make a case for more than this.

Taxes that aren’t based on usage e.g. taxes to improve roads that aren’t dependent on how much you drive.
reply
Do you want the gov to track how much each person drives?
reply
Taxes on fuel do exactly that. The more you drive the more you pay.
reply
That’s true! I’m more stuck on highway usage taxes that are proportional to the value of the vehicle, or even flat per vehicle. If I own 3 cars, that doesn’t mean I’m driving the same as 3 people summed up.
reply
Fair counter point. No, I don’t!

Report TAXs

Wow where do I start. Ummmm, all of them. I'm not from USA but at a guess I would say any law outside the bounds of the USA constitution is a good place to start. Pretty much all laws are a governments way of justifying it's own existence. You can fine and tax law breakers increasing revenue. You can grow your government in proportion to the laws you make to justify the extra workload. It's a parasites way of feeding of the host body (the people)

This is a contradictionary question! Any law made in history is as been enforced somehow. Depending on elite's needs obviously...
And remember that any law currently enforced on your persona is because you signed and agreed to it... that's what make you a slave. If you need to blame someone, that's just yourself.
I hear that a good way to measure your slavery score is to summarize all the taxes you pay, directly or indirectly, to any entity or gov. Total taxes 56%? you are 56% slave mate.. I'm sorry for you!
You can have all the money in the world, but if you still paying taxes, you still being a slave. Either you find a way to do not pay taxes.. you feel smart, you are just anothe ridiot feeding the system and heating on the face of other people.

OPT OUT!
