Or, maybe YOU should stop blaming your shortcomings on other people. You are responsible for your own life.
Government employee's are no more guilty for the OPs cut in food stamps than someone who works at a police station is guilty for police brutality.
Grow up.
Nice straw man there, followed up by a wildly off-base comparison.

Not when making threats against a Fed. employee or civilian.
@lines
Nice threat against the first amendment rights there.
I'm not condoning or condemning anyones actions against the government, merely stating the observation that if you are a part of the problem, then don't be surprised when the solution involves your removal...

No threats. Just....suggestions..
You have the right to say it. But you should understand there are consequences for what you say.
Just like you have the right to say what you want, why should another person not have the rights to DO what they want?
Condoning violence against innocent people is just as bad as pulling the trigger yourself.
The expression "the pen is mightier than the sword" actually means something and i hope one day you'll be able to understand it.
So you are advocating government violence against those who oppose government violence.

The OP isn't advocating violence.
This thread would have been shut down a long time ago if he was.
Government employees are not innocent
Therefore if you should be hurt/killed in the line of fire, you are no "innocent" fodder, but rather a knowing and accepted member of an occupying dictatorship.
I know that the revolution hasn't become violent up to this point and that we are still trying to take the country back through peaceful means... But if you still work for an agency of the government, then you are accepting the credo of your employer, and can claim no innocence when the time for talk has ended
By refusing to pay taxes, a citizen has brought harm to no one.

BUT it is against the law. And unless the authoritative body (government) offers penalties for infractions of the law, then its impossible to maintain order.
But then we have people like you & the OP who live in the land of "blame your problems on other people".... so if i break into your home and destroy all of your possessions - i didnt HARM you. And i could even blame it on Paris Hilton, because she has so much, and i have so little in comparison.
