With the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the founding fathers effectively signed their own death warrant.
The Declaration said in part "[t]hat whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends [re: unalienable rights], it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government ... But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
Many Americans complain about the idiotic regulations and rules passed by our government. I question, though, whether we, as Americans, are willing to put our creature comforts on hold for our principles.
... Make your economic voice heard. Reduce your income, cut back spending, and fund your taxes only when due. Do these three things in unison, and we will win. Vote with your wallet!

“What would happen if one million people calmly walked into Washington DC, sat down in the streets, and simply didn’t leave?”
That would work, of course. But good luck on getting one million Americans to go to Washington who simply wouldn’t want to leave.
Americans fear losing what they have - status-quo, finances, property, etc.
Additionally, the freeloaders aren’t going to want to lose their free handouts so that they certainly aren’t going to go to Washington to complain.
Who’s left to do that?
“Do America’s leaders still want to perceive themselves as moral and just?”
Apparently not, the way they have dealt with “protestors” in the past.
They’ve nailed people who were otherwise innocent of any unlawful acts to “nip” things in the bud, so to speak.
Precisely.
