You bring to mind an interesting notion: Forget the docs, what about me?
Hey, we’re all paying for it. I know I give the tax-man a heap of money every year. What’s our collective excuse? You know it’s funny, people think that if they pronounce their helplessness over and over again, that it excuses them. I’m not sure it does. It doesn’t matter if you personally object to the process, because it’s being done in your name with money you provided. You could argue coercion, that you can’t just not pay your taxes, that paying for policies you personally object to is part of living in a democracy. I do feel the latter is true, but I don’t feel any cleaner for it.
One thing is certain, we fear our government more than our government fears us. This is why in the Great Gun Debate I don’t care how many 2nd amendment yahoos claim to be ready for the day the government goes “too far,” Americans don’t even have the stomach to hit the ballot box or even hold up signs. It takes both more and less than just the-having-of-guns to fight this kind of abuse. It takes gumption. That’s the first battle, and we lost it hard.
