I hear you. The government not only derives its power from those it takes from, but those it makes dependent upon it. Government takes more of our money, more people need to work, government grows bigger and hires more people, people got to work for the government. When the government is the biggest employer, it establishes an inertia of dependency.

The great news is we have this new freedom fighting tool called cryptocurrency. If we all do our part to support its goal of eliminating government and banks from our financial lives, we can help overcome that inertia.

On a side note Jerry, your enthusiasm, honesty, and prolific nature are amazing. I love (almost) all your work. The tax stuff, not so much ;)
