And far too many people are willing, able, and eager to throw away freedom/liberty when it suits their convenience or particular moral-opinion.
I don't think it even need to get as deep as one's morals or even their opinion - but their financial security. How many on Social Security would be willing to overturn a government that hands them money?
Taxation without representation has been the norm for a long time. Look at all the various taxes we are subjected to - then add to that all the taxes that are disguised as 'fees'. I find that very few even know what income tax bracket they are in, much less know the dollar amount they pay in taxes each year. They just accept the theft of their earnings as normal.
Or how many don't want to rock the boat and risk an audit from the IRS? The IRS is Obama's Gestapo, targeting groups that don't go along with their views.
It IS already happening, folks! When will we notice our own Kristallnacht?

When will we notice our own Kristallnacht? Well, given what happened in Ferguson, apparently never.
Like I said - Normalcy Bias. The Jews in 30's Europe refused to believe what was happened to them, even when being lined up in front of gas chambers.
Methinks we are no different.
