“Correct but they can raise taxes, fees and fines.”

My point was that the Federal Government disguises what amounts to a tax raise by unsecured borrowing which produces inflation which takes buying power from us.

The government takes buying power from us. Isn’t that the same as increasing a tax?

But the government can claim that they don’t raise taxes.

A distinction without a difference. My point is that government policies take money from the people lowering their standard of living (having to make choice between food or shelter).

Humans in general are adaptable to almost anything but there is a point when a majority says enough is enough and bad things happen to the “ruling class”.

It is only in hindsight that when that point has been reached.
