King George didn’t treat us as badly as we treated ourselves almost immediately after, maybe firing, the revolution. As you know, the tyranny has grown more onerous by a factor of, I can only imagine, a billion or so since.
The tea party was not about taxes. It was more like industrial sabotage. A crown chartered company “dumped” a surplus of tea on our market, thereby driving down the domestic price and hurting the bottom line of smugglers like Hancock.
I have said this exact phrase a number of times to my son the past few years.
Despite the whiskey tax / rebellion that got George Washington back on his horse momentarily, I don't think our history is generally one of tyranny; IMHO that horror is attributed solely to the Marxist [mostly] Democrap Party who have dedicated the past 50+ years to overthrowing the Constitution bit by bit - until today there is very little left of that wondrous historic document.
