Imagine their reaction to letting a bunch of elected officials take over the country and rob trillions from citizens through fraud and then said officials forming an agency that can enforce the theft by threat of incarceration by armed means.?

Imagine their reaction to the government printing more money while bragging they are not increasing taxes, though printing more money is in reality a tax increase because it makes our dollar worth less.

I think about all those things and just shake my head. I know it's an exercise in futility, but man....

Much like the red coats, the red hats support just 1 guy making the decision.

What did Washington say to his men after they crossed the Delaware?
Get out the boat.

It was more than a tea tax. The Brits did stuff like claim ownership of our forests so they could get lumber. They banned sheep because it competed with their mutton prices. We asked for American reps in the Parliament and they refused.
One good thing was that when the Revolution began there were Brits in that Parliament who voted against attacking the colonists because 'they are our cousins.'
