I dunno. We have allowed the government to steal our money, murder babies wholesale, seize our property, lock up innocent citizens, persecute dissenters, gut the covenant it made with its citizens guaranteeing liberty, destroy local autonomy, destroy the reputations of its citizens, etc., etc. So far, the people have been relatively docile about these abuses. Since we have allowed them to abuse us in the first place, government stooges figure they can just keep on abusing us. When we finally stand up to them en masse, they will back down, but at a price. The tree of liberty always withers when the people are not willing to water it with their own blood, sweat, and tears.

Amen. It has to reach that point and I think it will if this keeps up. People can only take so much.
