Consciousness is an extremely important aspect of reality, my words or thoughts on the matter aside, we need to understand consciousness. Even as my main advocation is 'freedom', I believe consciousness to be more important in that 'freedom' can only be realized or lived consciously.
Different people operate at different levels of consciousness in different areas of their lives.
A major area that the vast majority of humans lack proper consciousness in, is the 'income tax', or just and understanding of 'tax' in general. We must question it until a decision is made, a conscious one, and a concrete one, tested against the facts, and applied in your life. The 'government' would cease to function without the support of taxes. I view this as 'good', while most people view a lack of 'government' as potentially bad. The people who depend on 'government' are the most likeliest to view no 'government' as bad.
