WhHy I think GOP economic policies in the past have failed

"But you have no "right" to simply declare yourself a sovereign, declare your fashionable split-level in the development as "j5ville" stop paying taxes, stop obeying the laws, etc." s #24

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." > DOI

No.
It does not.

My comment STRICTLY addressed individuals.

Your QUOTATION appears to be from TJ's DOI; and pertains to a group of colonies, NOT one colonist.
"You and Lincoln dont agree with that, fine." j5

Again, extremely wrong.

Many wars are fought to settle territorial disputes.

That's not confined to humans.

Deer battle over territory. Alpha bucks try to amass harems of hinds, despite persistent challenges from betas.

Even redwinged blackbirds are territorial, perhaps to preserve for themselves the choicest area to nest and cull grub for the brood.
Nesting in a desolate area would mean much more work for the parents trying to attend to hungry nestlings.

Youre all over the place to the point of being unintelligible. If we have nothing else to say about GOP economic policies, lets move on.

So if I don't like the new red light at our local intersection, can I go and start my own government?

If you can fight the one that currently exists and win, sure.

But that's just democracy. Democracies often pass laws that I personally don't like. If it doesn't represent me or a few of my neighbors, it seems the argument is we should have the freedom to just break away at any time and form our own government.

Except that's not how a representative democracy works. You vote, the majority wins, you live with the results. Welcome to reality.

The Founders called democracy "mob rule". It's why they Founded a Constitutional republic instead.
