How about the millions of American citizens defrauded by their government, which rakes
in
almost half what they earn through a grand extortion scheme in conjunction with the
country's banks and employers?

Bzzzt. Wrong. That trust was broken when the 16th Amendment to the Constitution was
passed, thereby allowing the feds to "lay and collect taxes on income, from whatever
source derived." This removed the connection between the value citizens give up and
the
value they receive in return from their govenrment. By legalizing plunder, we have
effectively separated morality and law. This has undermined the rule of law and the
respect and trust of a people for their government.

One can only hope. :)
