Why should anyone fear a tyrant? You are a slave and do not even know it and it matters not who the master is. You are already enslaved by the government and you work at least 5 months every year just to pay your taxes. Think about how many ways the government infringes  on our rights to free speech, freedom to practice religion, freedom to bear arms, and freedom to raise grievances against our government for those infringements. Our progressive government enslaving us in the name of caring for us and providing for all our needs, calling these needs ‘entitlements’ and ‘rights?’   What are we but slaves to if not those things upon which we have become dependent? Are we dependent on the government for money, food, housing, utility bills, disabilities, child welfare, and on and on?  Nearly half the country receives benefits from one or more government programs.  It can be called nothing else but slavery without the chains.  Do we make the government do anything? Or, does the government dictate to us how we have to do everything … for the common good, of course?
