Why the Whiskey Rebellion?

The history:
The Whiskey Tax was the first tax levied on a domestic product by the newly formed Federal Government to pay debts incurred in the Revolution. Farmers and distillers on the frontier took issue with it and formed a rebellion that George Washington personally stopped alongside regular army, US marshals, and militia from four states.
There was no confrontation. Those who were arrested were acquitted or pardoned. However, in the years that followed, distillers on the frontier were found to be all but impossible to tax.

The application:
Viktor Frankl said, “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
Governments will tax. Oppressors will oppress. We seek to harness our freedom, our minds, and set them on fire for self-sustained personal, professional, and spiritual growth.
For we believe physically and psychologically strong individuals build strong families, raise strong children, and lead lives to be envied.
