Start thinking in terms of the reality: You are free today! The federal government will not stop. It is like a terminator it will keep coming and coming until you are a subject. You may no longer have the right to speak out if you let this usurpation go unchallenged. Act now or forever hold your peace! Secession!
Agreed that the federal government is running amok, but scrapping the entire system is NOT the answer - that is what the progressives want us to do. Everyday, I am thinking the answer really lies in the states and local governments. We are the United STATES after all. The federal government can only have the power we allow them to have. If the sovereign states push back on all of the usurpations of the sovereignty the federal government has taken (including the bribes - aka funding) and the People push for lower taxes that will limit the federal government’s ability to punish through taxation, we can save the Republic.
And while we are at it, we might as well abolish the Fed...
