Interesting. You appear to be saying that you don't care if American loses its sovereignty and that you want it out of everywhere else no matter the cost.

Taxation, not to say all taxes are bad, is compulsory not voluntary. The government enforces the tax law not with harsh words but with big freaking guns!

Yes, we will build dirt roads. They aren't going to get a semi across the Mississippi River though. Meme's do not a good argument make.
