With both the federal and state level governments being run by people who meet every symptom of sociopathy, why are we even bothering to listen to or abide by what they say?

They simply cannot arrest everyone who refuses to "obey" their ridiculous and unconstitutional laws, so why do we as a people even let them affect our lives?

They constantly lie, steal, and even worse, yet We The People are supposed to have enough faith in them that they are going to fix things?

Government is the problem. Less government is precisely whats needed. Their criminally corrupt actions have been a plague on this nation since its founding.

Seriously, why do we as a nation even bother with these mental defects?

I agree completely. I will not acknowledge Romney or Obama as President in November. People need to focus on getting things done locally and representatively, apart from the alliance between Big Gov/Big Biz. But first, police and military need to realize how they are taken advantage of.

Do not vote. Do not acknowledge the whorehouse known as Congress. Understand whom it is that profits from every dollar you spend or invest.

What would it take to gather a large number of people (1 mil or more) to actively refuse to send in any form of tax return?

Just getting some thoughts on the idea..... I believe any large action like that would be difficult to make happen given that the average American seems to have an attention span of about 20 seconds.

There has to be someway to make something like this happen.

Take away peoples comforts. TV,Food,SUV's,Big houses...etc..when people lose those things en masse then maybe people will rise up. I don't have much faith in my fellow man so.I just try to free myself from the grip of government intrusion as best as possible.

sigh look up the definition of sociopath.

People wanting to throw the poor to the whims of the rich fit the definition better tho not exactly because of the concern over the dependency angle.

Whe live in a country of hyperbole.

Sigh.....

I could list countless definitions and symptoms of sociopathy and it would apply to the majority of the people running this country. Would you like me to?

We live in a country run by corrupt, sociopathic, hypocritical criminals.

Maybe 10 million or so and perhaps squat the National Parks until they bring out the gas and Blackhawks. Shhhhhh, keep it on the lowdown now before the (insert misc. gov. agency acronym, there are 100's to chose from).... don't want to get in trouble.
