Quote:To him, that meant being ruled by a Monarch, in whose government you had no voice. To you, it apparently means taxes.Not taxes. It means that I have the freedom to live my life with a minimum of interference by the government, be it State or Federal. But, the way things are today, almost everything from education, to employment, to retirement, to health care, to transportation, to property use (such as this case) are concerns of the government .
I also question whether "the people" really have a voice in government anymore (see my other post). Also, not Monarch, tyrant or tyranny. A tyranny can also be oligarchy.
