Do you really think the government cares about law suits?
They don't really care about your fire power either, since they have a great deal more of it than you do, not to mention more committed manpower. I say the answer is defunding. They're not very good at funding themselves. They need taxpayers for that. It's all they need. And you're there for them.
But, if you withhold it, they'll take away your freedom. So keep on paying the protection racket and maybe they'll never get around to you at all.
They got around to me once and since then I have understood the difference between freedom and luck.
At some point they’ll have to.
