Welcome to post 9/11, err vet...err kor...err WWII..I..Civil war times. Using the morally just ideal of freeing the slaves the federal government started its unconstitutional climb of power. Helped by things like the National Income tax, federal * * agencies, and now with things like the patriot act, that the federal government has exersized outside of it's stated power.
It has gone from states only being disallowed things from the federal government based on human rights to now they have to beg the federal government to be able to do the things they may want.
Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
