The point is, as it pertains to America, God did, indeed, actually establish this great nation. But evil men, inspired by their own lust for power, have subverted this Divine Gift, to the point that the U.S. Government is now a godless abomination. His was not a statement of giving-up, it was one of contempt. Evil men, drunk with their own lust for power, changed that into the abomination we live in today. And yes, the full Bible witness is that this was evil.
Taxation remains, morally and philosophically, theft.
No amount of rationalization can change that. A heart and life dedicated to love, honesty and truth. To speak-out against evil in all its forms, regardless of its apparent authority. To oppose and take action against such evil, in what ever way and with whatever strength God grants you. That is the truth.
