The government has been able to make citizens subordinate to the legislature when it started out subordinate to the people. How? Every time you sign a “contract “ with the government. Birth certificate, S.S. card, tax return, building permit, marriage license, carry PERMIT, car registration, You get the picture? That is why I think it is high time we nip this in the bud by starting over WITHOUT the Fed Gov. Start having kids at home, don’t register them, home school them, teach them a trade they can make a living at for cash. They wont pay taxes, or S.S. They wont be subject to labor laws, environmental laws, tax laws That generation will be wildly successful without the government anchor around their neck.
