In spite of the difficulties facing America, there is still no other place that is more livable under the right administration; however, our nation is at a crossroads, not unlike the difficulties faced by our forefathers. Many of the same conditions that prompted the Declaration of Independence prevail in America today. Of the indictments against the King of Great Britain, our Founders declared:
"He has erected a Multitude of new offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People and eat out their Substance."
There are literally hundreds of thousands of government employees administering various regulatory agencies with budgets in the billions of dollars. Regulatory compliance alone exceeds $460 billion annually.
Our Founders, opposed to "taxation without representation," also declared that the King was: "...imposing Taxes on us without our Consent."
Yet, taxation with representation now sees the average American working through May to meet his or her yearly local, state, and federal tax obligations.
