    Of course they do. Plenty of people help & donate like me cause they want to, not cause they’re forced to. When you force people to donate it is called theft. At one time in history people actually left the monarchy over it. But now you’re about to have another monarchy because you’re fine with it.

        Pretty much it did because they didn’t have representation. Just like you don’t have representation now because of the electoral college, gerrymandering, Citizen’s United, presidential immunity & a bunch of other things where Trump has nearly unlimited power. Do you see Democrats doing anything while billionaires are buying votes in broad daylight?
