As I slowly and methodically plow through my tax return line by line, support documents with multiple details, constantly having to refer to obscure and unclear IRS instructions, I find myself despising the government to which I must forfeit life’s blood. It’s beyond obscene that 100’s of thousands of Americans died in service of this utterly immoral system.
I would rather look at it as 100s of thousands of Americans died fighting for the ideal of Freedom rather than in service of this utterly immoral system.
That system has unfortunately become an infernal beast, truly wicked.
I think more men are going to die for the ideal of freedom in the future, but I think that this is always going to be the case, because while it is man’s nature to be free, it is also in man’s nature to control.
