David's analogy is a good one. What we have is an ever-obesing (for lack of
a better word) civil government.
The Boston Tea Party was precipitated by a 3% tax. Today, we pay 52.8% in
taxes -- and the liberals say "Hey! That's not bad!" No nation has *ever*
taxed itself into prosperity.
Would that the American people today had the hearts of our forefathers -- to
throw off the yoke of slavery that we have so willingly embraced.
