When I go to the county clerk to find out why my property taxes are so high, I’m treated as if I’m disruptive and argumentative. This is because they’ve become accustomed to easily and comfortably taking everyone’s money. But I’m an American and I don’t think the government has a right to my money. The fact that I’m treated as an outlier only signifies to me that not enough of the other citizens of this county are willing to put up even the smallest resistance. I’m jealous of every dime they take, angry about every liberty they violate, on guard against every subsequent intrusion on my privacy or my property. This is a minimum of resistance against the corrupt system, but the fact that so many Americans willingly give these things away makes it harder to demand justice.
