You're making a false assumtion. Not at all what I was talking about. The state governments, in fact government at all levels, are just as guilty as the feds of taking rights and plundering hard earned wealth just to squander it on their supporters. I was refering to the people at the individual level taking action.
Will Rogers once said, "Thank God we don't get all the government we pay for." Unfortunately now we're getting most if not all the government we're paying for.
If the government continues to use it’s standing army (the thugs in blue) to treat the citizens like subjects of a communist tyranny
Seems I overlooked the thugs in blue which in the context of standing army would tend to tend to focus lower than the Fed whose “standing army” isn’t composed of thugs nor dressed daily in blue even though they have dress blues.
So, thanks for spelling it out here: “in fact government at all levels, are just as guilty as the feds of taking rights and plundering hard earned wealth just to squander it on their supporters”.
