The entire point of the Bill of Rights was to make a simple list of rules that represent our values as a society. Since their writing, it appears to me that by any means necessary, those freedoms have been slowly taken away, inch by inch, by those that would want a less free society that enables them to increase their personal power, population control, and maintain that power. And they tax LeBron James at the same rate as someone making 130k. This ensures no-one joins the club.
