“We the people ALLOWED government to take money from us and to call it taxes- We ALLOWED them to keep raising those taxes with the understanding that it takes a lot of money to run a government- but there is NOTHING to state that we must continue to ALLOW them to both take more and more money from us AND to saddle us with unconstitutional laws and violations to our rights-”
From a moral and revolutionary perspective I agree with you we are justified in throwing off this government. But from a practical perspective I tell you we have nether the support or the means to do so at this time.
We need to build both in our people and our States before we are able to stand up to the tyrant. Given the sheer size and scale of the Federal Leviathan this could take quite a while.
Right now Washington is still too strong, and too big. We have no choice but to act intelligently to bring it down.

We’re losing the nation to the immoral few- and it has rapidly increased I the last 7 years- We do NOT even have a supreme court any longer to protect us against this rogue government- the supreme court was supposed to be our last battle station against a rogue government, but now even they are compromised and corrupt
