Its worse than that; our political betters enrich themselves at our expense and are blatantly corrupt and we are powerless to hold them to account.

It's not that we are powerless to do what it takes. Nobody has the will.

Our Founding Fathers would have burned their houses, destroyed their farms, their land, and when caught they would have been shot or hung.

So, no, we don't have the will.

Exactly. The founders took on the largest army/navy in the world with everything they had.

And the greivances listed in the Declaration of Independence are nothing compared to the crap the government does to us daily.
