Those are strong words, but appropriate I think. So my question is, what can we do about it? Taking up arms is unwarranted and ineffective. Tax revolt will just land people in jail. So what's left short of these options?

Untrue. An armed tax revolt a long time ago is the reason I'm not a British subject.

Human nature is such that freedom and power will always, in the bitter end, be purchased in blood. I'm not advocating it because it the process is pure horror, but the notion is true.

We can have a revolution, with next year’s elections. In 2010, conservative candidates, for the U.S. Senate and House, should campaign together, similarly to the Contract with America. They should promise that, if Republicans regain control of both houses of Congress, they’ll pass a set of about five bills, including cutting tax rates to the 1988 rates, obeying the 10th Amendment (which includes repealing all federal laws that mention abortion and spending that isn’t mentioned in the Constitution), and building a brick wall along the Mexican border. Next month, many people will celebrate the 200th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth. That would be the perfect time to recruit more conservative candidatess, into the republican party.

"Untrue. An armed tax revolt a long time ago is the reason I'm not a British subject."

The key phrase in your statement is "a long time ago." The situation was different then as were the people involved.

Now is not the time for an armed revolution. Try to start one and see how far you get. I am a patriot and I would not join you. We still have legal options left.
