I believe self determination is a concept of the past. Imagine if you were able to "make it in this world" without some government/social entity attempting to dip into your pocket. Where a simplified tax rate was set at say 3% of your total take for the year. Where you weren't constantly monitored or spied on. Where we could ALL agree that we share this planet and it's resources and that those resources were for everyone at a reasonable rates. Where governments instituted by the people, for the people and of the people actually adhered to the teachings of the Constitution and the Founding Fathers who warned and prodded against what we, as a country have now become. Freedom is freedom, it doesn't apply to where it's convenient, it applies to us all in all circumstances. Self determination of one's values and principles determines where it should be reigned in.
