Romans 13 is written in the context of legitimate government, specifically one that rewards the righteous and punishes the wicked.

No

It was written in the context of the Roman Empire, which crushed rebels with crucifixion, slavery (sexual and otherwise), and genocide. Arguing for a right to rebel based on taxation is unscriptural.

That wasn’t the argument. You obviously didn’t read the piece.

You have read the Declaration of Independence for a start, and you DO realize that the Revolutionary War wasn’t merely about taxation?
