	Actually you need to read about Project 2025 which sets out all the
programs for converting our Secular Democracy to a White Christian 
Nationlaist
Fascist nation which it was never intended to be by Our Founders.
	Our founders had lived under the English Monarchy and were obliged to
be taxed to support the Anglican Church which many found oppressive
and it was Evangelical sects like the Baptists who insisted on writing
Religiious Freedom into the Constitution.  George Washington, plantation
and slave owner wrote a letter to a Jewish Congregation where he
emphazied that we do not have Religious Toleration in our now very
great nation but Religious Liberty.
	In addition many of Our Founders were well aware of the religious
wars that had wracked Europe for hundreds of years and the violent
suppression of what the Roman Catholic Herierachy considered to be
Heresy. The ruler of a country set the religion for the nation he ruled
and sometimes they caused a lot of dismay when one church was
expelled and another installed.

	Everyone on the Left was humbled and we were let down by the
Democratic Corporatists.  They did not address the workers in terms
that the workers understood choosing to denigrate Trump honestly
instead of pointing out that his cutting taxes on the Extremely Well
Off and Extremely Well Compensated is the cause of most of our
deficit problems.  And their profits and bank accounts are enlarged
by all the wars and disasters we have.

	Now those same groups EWO and EWC are the ones that
are behind the anti-taxation nonsense and they refuse to pay
for the wars where the children of the Poor died to fight those
wars and the economic disasters where people lost their homes
because they want more money.
