Yes!!

The government that starts the smallest ends up being the biggest. It is a natural evolution. The productivity of free people leads to government largess. I don't like it, but it's not up to me.

Interesting to note that The founding Fathers fled England because of high taxation on its people. Yet today, we have all those same taxations, and 18x as many. America WAS a moral nation. Sadly, today those morals are virtually non existent. Its fall began with the assassination of JFK. From that point forward it's America is about military might and imprisoning its people through debt and taxation. I ask you...where lies the pursuit of happiness today? The economical strains have made it difficult to maintain a constant state of happiness in these United States. It's all about money & power. Happiness and the pursuit thereof has been undermined. We need to change and set aside banking institutions, the "credit" they offer us and their loans. It's sole purpose is to partner with the individual making gains at our expense while they get rich, and the small business man struggles. Even if profiting year to year, it's not without struggle and economic imprisonment.

The spark that ignited the revolution was a tax that today would be seen as a pittance! The Tea Act...

Who can disagree with that?

YES!
