Everyone forgets (or was NEVER TAUGHT) that the “Boston Tea Party” was over a 1% tax!!

Yes, but the pols have learned since then... That tax was on something that everyone wanted and used... They've learned that they can raise taxes and tell the majority that while they're being taxes, those evil rich are the cause, and with the support of the masses, the taxes on those evil rich will be raised even higher, allowing the taxes to be removed from the "good guys." Eventually.

Sorry, I got my postings twisted up. The CWII ping for the "Carbon Cookoos" was supposed to be for this article!
