Yeah, seat belts.

Last year I got pulled over by a Maryland state trooper. He told me I didn’t have my seatbelt on. I showed him that I did, in fact, have it buckled around my hips but that I had tucked my arm underneath the shoulder portion due to pain from a shoulder injury. He asked me if I had a note from my doctor that allowed me to tuck my arm underneath the belt.

It was all I could do not to laugh, but he was a deadly serious jackboot.

In the town where I grew up EVERYBODY did a U-turn at the No U-Turns sign. It was so common they even paved the road a bit wider there where everybody got a wheel off into the grass turning around.

The parking downtown on Main Street was diagonal to the curb and if you cam from the wrong direction you had to turn around to park.

We also rode on the sidewalks downtown as kids despite the signs saying we couldn’t.

A) The right to not have to tell the IRS how much we earn each year, how we spend it, who we share it with, our full family structure as in who depends on us or we depend on for their support.

But one that really galled me the other day:

We should have the right to earn an income without the government being there with it's hand out to receive a no doubt well deserved 50% of some income such as contest winnings.

Essentially, we're tax slaves, not precisely wage slaves. The FedGov has become a tyranny due solely to the fact that they have the taxing power over not only us, but the entire economy, so that the more we earn the more it earns so that it's now become a bloated caricature of the govt that existed during the founding father's days.
