America is about self-governance and limited government. It is that simple. That is why those brave men risked (and gave) their lives 242 years ago. They were tired of a powerful centralized government. They were tired of having their labor taxed and confiscated.

The United States stopped being that a long time ago.

The founders would be shocked by what the federal government takes from us today.

The founders would also be shocked by what the government dictates to citizen today.

The founders went to war over far less than what the federal government does today.
