Forgive me for reading into some of these posts something that no one has said but it sure sounds to me like some think that good and sufficient reason to overthrow the government is simply disliking the government that was legally and democratically elected.
Some folks think that way. Usually, those folks are living a fantasy that they'll be heroes and ultimately rulers of the New World that will magically appear in the wake of horrific, disruptive violence.

We have the option of using force to stop government tyranny, but we're a long way from having the need to do so.

Now, back to the original point of this thread: is taxing a right lawful?
