I believe it would take quite a bit.  So many of our rights have been 
slowly taken away from us in increments that most people don't notice 
the total sum that it has become.  Why do you think taxes are taken out 
of peoples paychecks instead of having them write one or two checks per 
year?  It's because THEN people would realize that the Government has 
more spendable money from your income than you do!  And people would 
stand up in revolt.  Instead, people get excited when they get a "tax 
refund," even though they fail to realize that they have just given the 
IRS an interest free loan for the last 12 months.  It's YOUR money, why 
are you excited to have someone else hold it for a year and then give it 
back?
