LOL; RE>> Didn't we once give Britain the finger over such nonsense?
The key players involved in giving Britain the boot, didn't really do it over
Taxes..( that was just the excuse ) , They did it to keep from paying back
the Money they had borrowed. Jefferson was so deep in debt he had no
way out but the poor house.
The Tea Party over taht tax was hype , the Tea they tossed overboard
only had a small token tax on it, and sold much cheaper tax and all
than Tea Jefferson was trying to sell.
On top of taht they thought nothing about dressing up as Indians and
trying to shift the blame to them.

Our leaders never were as great or as good as our history
paints them, we just traded & got rid of the fleas to get ciggers.
