The first revolution in this country started because the citizens were being unfairly taxed to enhance and build a bigger government for the king. Same thing in happening now and we are almost at the breaking point again.

The number of people complaining about high taxation is well under 50%. Most people now are net receivers of government payments or services. These takers are not complaining because they're -- well, happy about it. The producers are -- well, busy producing so they aren't about to revolt.

Going to have to come up with some reason other than "high taxation".

Well that is true if you are talking about income tax but there are many more taxes being added for individual items. That list is growing every year because the government is spending all income tax revenues just to pay off the interest on the Federal debt and needs more money to fund the huge government. Almost everyone is affected by these additional taxes. See the list below:
