“I’ll leave you with three thoughts:
1. Any power that government takes from the people, it will never return voluntarily
2. Every power that government takes, it will ultimately be abused to the maximum extent possible
3. Nobody ever complied their way out of totalitarianism. The only thing we can do is resist.”
Regardless of your political leanings., The government does not have your best interest in mind.
“I heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe — "That government is best which governs not at all"; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient.” - Thoreau
