You've brushed off the failure of your arguments. That indicates that your position is not being driven by reasonable considerations.

> If the government hadn't imposed such strict lockdowns in some states, there would have been no need for the "essential" workers

That is a non sequitur. We do have essential workers whether or not they are the only workers working during a time of crisis or not.

> the American revolution was based on the premise of no taxation without representation

That is a bumper sticker level of understanding of our history. Please educate yourself on what inspired it. Read the works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Locke, Thomas Paine, and Thomas Jefferson.

> get off your high horse

No. An enlightened government takes care of the people (and an unenlightened government is not worth having). Our economy creates poverty. We are in a crisis that has been growing since the 1980's and is reaching a flashpoint. You may not have been here for the 2008 financial crisis and Occupy Wall Street, so you may not have heard of Thomas Picketty's book Capital in the Twenty-First Century, but this webpage will give you a brief overview and a graph: https://www.epi.org/publication/top-1-percents-share-income-...

> DSA and communism in the USA are screwing up a country which is great

They are bringing a long overdue correction that is necessary to preserve our country. They have not even begun, so your claim that they are screwing up this country is absurd. This country is being run into the ground by the current administration and his fellow travelers.
