IN my part of the state Western Pennsylvania when our country was young George Washington imposed the Whiskey Tax. Many also would not pay. Washington called in the military and they were shot.
I live in the Mon Valley in SW Pennsylvania. You make a good point about taxation throughout America’s history. The farmers were tar and feathering tax collectors. Washington had enough and rode at the head of a militia to end the rebellion. Upon hearing about Washington coming the angry farmers just went home and in the end had to pay the tax.
So what are you suggesting, Ken? Roll over and pay the tyrants?
