reading through it much of it applies now to what the government does to its people
for example
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.
He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power.
That said happy Independence day to all my American friends (and enemies).
