When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
The protestors need to declare their independence and go it on their own. This does not mean they get our stuff. No more welfare checks, no more free housing or medical. No more food stamps. Put out your own damn fires. No more medicine from our pharmacies. No more treatment from our doctors. Go somewhere else and begin your new Utopia. We will not stop you from leaving.
