Do these quotes from Journals of the Continental Congress and Jefferson's papers have any relavence today?

“If money is wanted by Rulers who have in any manner oppressed the People, they may retain it until their grievances are redressed, and thus peaceably procure relief, without trusting to despised petitions or disturbing the public tranquility” and “how efficacious its [the privilege of giving or withholding our money] intercession for redress of grievances and establishment of rights, and how improvident would be the surrender of so powerful a mediator.” (Journals of the Continental Congress, 1:105-113 and Jefferson’s papers 1:225).

If the above statements have any teeth in today’s mouth, what is the best recourse for a business owner or an employee to do? 1. Find a constitutional lawyer and file restraining orders against all government (local, state, federal) withholdings from your wages and your income from whatever source derived, until the grievances are redressed. 2. Do everything in #1 except make it a class action law suit. 3. Using #1 or #2 get the backing of all pro-constitution congressmen who answered the grievance questions and are pushing congress to formulate a redress covering all issues. 4. Close your business or quit your job and live off the land. 5. Veg out on dp. 6. Veg out on meetyourmeat. 7. Other.
