The only reason we pay our taxes, follow idiotic laws and accept what the government does peacefully is that we trust that those idiots were legally elected by the other idiots around us. If we lose that trust, and come to believe that the government is chosen for us by those who wish to rule us and tell us what to do without our small part in consenting to it, then we simply become subjects to a dictatorial system. And that we will not abide. We are a free people, descendants of free men who fought and died to create it and keep it. We will not give up our freedom quietly.
we could cheat on taxes and break laws if we wanted, mostly we could get away with it if we really wanted to....
yet we don't....
because we trust....
trust is a two way street.
