Although different from taxation, I think one could see parallels with government taking over a major corporation and then sending letters to car dealerships saying that they will be closed. How can a politician take away my livelihood? Who voted for that?? It’s like a law was passed. It’s not like I can petition my local representative and try to plead my case — the car czar says my business is over, and that’s that.
Another parallel of history. I do not see the people staying quiet forever.
