Agree with you. The revolution that created this country was based on the slogans - "No taxation without representation" and, "taxation without representation is tyranny." I think the current conditions call for a radical change of approach based upon the converse of the above slogans - ie, "No representation without taxation" and "Representation without taxation is a free ride - like alimony."
what we really need is a revolution in the entire banking/debt system. the biggest problem is the united states is the $56 trillion in debt in total. and there's an interest rate attached to this debt. a gigantic chunk of our money/earnings goes towards paying off the interest on / servicing this debt rather than going towards more productive use - this is the biggest problem!!!
