Bourbon Democrats like Grover Cleveland were explicit on that point. Duty only went one way, from the individual to the state, never the other way.

Yea their cry esp the Republicans "it's socialism." As for Democrats they lose sight "it's peoples lives they are playing hardball with "
Replying to @marwilliamson
They absolutely should. We pay a lot in taxes
Replying to @marwilliamson
Kind of strange isn't it, considering WE pay their salaries?
Replying to @marwilliamson
That is as fundamental as it gets.
Replying to @marwilliamson
That's why we pay taxes. May as well stop paying if we're not benefiting.

Made worse by gatekeeping/blocking ability to be self-sufficient thru “standards” or “rules” or other barriers for those who have raw resources. Fisher can’t fish without license. Land owner can’t subdivide & build without permit. Home buyer can’t purchase due to credit history.
