- The tax systems of many nations, in particular the US, are outright corrupt and the fact that nobody has had an armed uprising about it thus far implies the fundamental tenets of the nation have been violated, and that any violation of rights, if gradual enough, will be allowed to pass.
- Government officials need to be accountable to citizens, and in fear for their lives in order to make sensible decisions.
- Organized religion has no place in modern society.
- Stronger consequences are required for failure.
