This government doesn't provide for people's needs and is still powerful enough to take everything from us.

The real problem is if it's not powerful enough to maintain a top position on violence then I'll end up paying a second set of taxes to the local sheriff and his posse of Ranchers.

We need to ensure power is used responsibly. Not just get rid of it and hope nobody comes along to fill the vacuum. (Spoiler Alert, they will, and there won't be voting)
