    This ignores reality. When you boil it down, a government’s legitimacy is measured in whether people are willing to do something. A something can include refusing taxation, or setting up the means to redirect it into more deserving hands.

    Your argument is questionable, because it denies history. America as we knew it, was founded on the principal of rejecting a king’s will.
