Unfortunately, as I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, in the 200-plus years since we established our own government, we've let bankers, turncoats and number-crunching bureaucrats muddy the waters and pilfer the accounts to such an extent that we're back where we started.
Once again, we've got a despotic regime with an imperial ruler doing as they please.
Once again, we've got a judicial system insisting we have no rights under a government that demands that the people march in lockstep with its dictates.
And once again, we've got to decide whether we'll keep marching or break stride and make a turn toward freedom.
But what if we didn't just pull out our pocketbooks and pony up to the federal government's outrageous demands for more money?
What if we didn't just dutifully line up to drop our hard-earned dollars into the collection bucket, no questions asked about how it will be spent?
What if, instead of quietly sending in our checks, hoping vainly for some meager return, we did a little calculating of our own and started deducting from our taxes those programs that we refuse to support?
If we don't have the right to decide what happens to our hard-earned cash, then we don't have very many rights at all.
If the government can just take from you what they want, when they want, and then use it however they want, you can't claim to be anything more than a serf in a land they think of as theirs.
This was the case in the colonial era, and it's the case once again.
