When and or how?
Well, I imagine it started whenever a majority of the population decided they would trade security for Liberty. Lot's of folks out there with pew pew sticks. Absolutely none of them used them when it was necessary.
Are you really so dense that you fail to understand the "unrest at the bottom end of the socio-economic ladder" is exactly what the Republic needs to drive enough people to action? Or are you just another Leftist scum bag in a RINO suit? If it is the former, I suggest you go read A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and realize this desire to coddle the bottom end has allowed this dystopian nightmare to get way more traction than it ever should have to begin with! Of course if you are the latter, may you get hit by a bus this very day.
Many good long term plans, I will give you that. I still believe siege warfare is the most sure way to root out Leftists and disrupt their agenda. Also you may be right about property taxes but American farmers have up to three years to do absolutely nothing and still get paid just for being farmers.
Welcome to the world. It is an unfair place. Sometimes really shitty things happen to nice people. I for one would rather suffer along side you and others for the greater good. Your statement is a knee jerk reaction that holds no merit.
Obfuscation? Muddying up the paper trail enough to make it impossible for them to track you down or get an exact figure on what they are attempting to extract?
I don't know. I haven't filed my taxes in 5 years now and here I sit a free man.
Unfortunately, you are probably right. The masses are too placated with their creature comforts.
