Founding Fathers had families to feed, too. But the things I am talking about include mortgages/rent, new/semi-new cars to payments on and pay insurance for and healthcare premiums to cover and credit cards to pay and toys to buy and big screen TV's and booze to drink while watching the latest "Big Game". We are entirely unwilling to give ANY of that up, which makes us slaves.
Tipping point? Let's see, it took a 3% tax on a breakfast beverage for the colonists to take action. The attempted disarmament of the colonists was their "tipping point". Today, we have endured:
40%+ taxation on EVERYTHING WE OWN
Relentless regulation of the individual
Government intrusion into every facet of our lives
Elite elected officials getting away with murder
Complete disregard for the Constitution
Foreign invasion of the America homeland
An Administration that ignores the American public while aiding and abetting our enemies
A corrupt IRS
Ruby Ridge
Waco
Bundy Ranch
The murder of LaVoy Finicum
And yet, here we sit, discussing what our "tipping point" is?
Our “tipping point” will never be reached. We will just go quietly into slavery.
It wasn’t the taxation so much as the lack of representation But I see your point on the whole. I’ll wait a few more months for the election cycle to show us what path we’re on. That is unless the feces really hit the fan sooner.
