And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
A friend from Denmark explained it to me this way. The government is obligated to shovel your snow and you are paying on the order of 80% of your income to them. Why should you do it when the government has charged you for that service. Naturally the government defaults...it's what they do. As a result, many sidewalks are not cleared because people feel entitled to have the work done for them.
