But another more energized group has splintered, painted their faces with [...]

You’re taxed when you earn your money. You’re taxed when you enjoy your earnings. You’re taxed when you invest your earnings. You’re taxed when you own or attempt to own property. You’re taxed when you purchase mandatory licenses. You’re taxed when you pay for necessary utilities. You’re taxed when you die.
