I am treated like I am the problem but I've financed their socialism for over 30 years now thru onerous income taxation.

The last time some Southern States pretended to secede, Jefferson Davis claimed it was to preserve liberty. Of course, when you read what the "secessionists" wrote at the time, in their own declarations of secession, you will learn that "secession" was really all about slavery and had nothing to do with anyone's liberty.

And, when you get a chance to study the income tax, you will learn that the Confederate States of America adopted an income tax for the people of the South.

Finally, as I've shown you before, the Southern States were at the the front of the line in support of the Sixteenth Amendment (our current income tax). Southern States were the first to ratify the Sixteenth Amendment because they could hardly wait to bring back an income tax.

When the Southern States pretended to "secede," it had nothing to do with liberty. It was all about slavery.

And, most people now accept that slavery was wrong, that it is dead and that it isn't coming back, ever.

Nope. The war at root was all about white southerners protecting their liberty to own other human beings.

That IS a liberty, though not one I have much sympathy for.
