The ballooning government control over our lives, our bodies, and our property is really freaking me out, and I feel helpless because the same government has made it extraordinarily difficult to find any escape. How do you handle this? What do you do?

Proposed increase capital gains tax, tax in general, the massive bailouts recently, the government money printing that's likely going to cause significant inflation, and just. In general I feel this all the time.

I think I would have had even greater success if the government hadn't been taking away 30-50% of every dollar I earn, depending on the year. And I'm still horrified about violations that happen to people who aren't me.
