| can someone tell me.....
just at what point did the fine folks of Boston decide to have a tea party?
I know the number of taxes in this country on the federal, state,county, municiple, school board, etc, etc., is way over the mark of our founding fathers. My question is percentage of everyday income. |

| The fine gentlemen in Boston got upset about trade and import taxes imposed without representation.
Any taxes you pay were approved by your representatives in government. If you don't like it, vote them out and get new representation.
That is alot easier than getting in a boat, crossing the Atlantic, walking into the King's chambers, and having a chat about taxes. |

@192.27.x.x | Unfortunately our representatives aren't representing us very well, therefore we aren not represented. So hey, LETS PARTY!!!!! |

You're the guy who wanted to repay the limeys for the tea that was destroyed.

The good thing is that the only citizens that count are taking up the net neutrality issue.
