This makes getting rid of said government when it inevitably turns tyrannical much more difficult. We need to get back to an early American tradition:
?Americans group together to hold f?tes, found seminaries, build inns, construct churches, distribute books, dispatch missionaries to the antipodes. They establish hospitals, prisons, schools by the same method. Finally, if they wish to highlight a truth or develop an opinion by the encouragement of a great example, they form an association" (Tocqueville 1840)
Of course easier said then done but MAGs seem like a great tool to help get started.
