I agree with the former statement, but the latter is wishful thinking. No more than 30% of the Americans in the 13 colonies were pro-Revolution. Most folks were pro-status quo or just wanted to keep their heads down. Assuming the American people will stand up against UN taxation is as bad as assuming sheep will fight being sheared. I would not assume that, after a tax is agreed to by the elected President and Congress, an anti-UN stance would get the support of even 20% of Americans, given the years of follow-government-blindly publik-skule indoctrination most Americans have been through.
Yep.
