Never has been more obvious the lack of purpose of a government in this country as it is now days. It is not because of the way it was originally designed or intended but as a result of the people currently holding positions that behave irresponsibly while merely aiming to profit personally and for those that finance their candidacy to stay in power.

According to the principles that inspired the creators of the Declaration of Independence and in order to secure certain unalienable rights that make us all equal “…Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...” But, how would I be willing to consent a government that exacts more taxation from me in order to privilege those with the capital?

From Wikipedia:
Lincoln Ellsworth (May 12, 1880 – May 26, 1951) was an polar explorer from the United States.

He was born on May 12, 1880 to James Ellsworth and Eva Frances Butler in Chicago, Illinois. He also lived in Hudson, Ohio as a child.

Lincoln Ellsworth's father, James, a wealthy coal man from the United States, spent US$100,000 to fund Roald Amundsen's 1925 attempt to fly from Svalbard to the North Pole. The craft were forced down onto the ice short of their goal, and the explorers spent 30 days trapped on the surface.
