Taxing people for stuff like tea really pisses off Americans. Probably should pisses them off that we pay for roads we can't use.
The court system requires you have a extreme amount of law knowledge. It's no longer a mom and pop trial. So unless you are so highly intelligent you can learn your defense and offence against a state paid prosecuting attorney, I'd say you are required to pay a lawyer. And hope you pay a good one because usually there are no refunds and it's hard to fight a case behind bars.
Most people with a job that can own a pistol, probably won't qualify for a free attorney. And if it's free how good do you think it is?
