Now I ask you, was that so bad? How about we give in to the Tea Tax in return for removing ourselves from the yoke of the mountain of taxation that has been heaped upon us since December 16, 1773?
I’ll put it another way…
Taxation Without Representation Was Bad!
Is Taxation With Representation Any Better?
I am on a roll here (it does not take a lot to get me rolling). Let’s move beyond the 3% Tea Tax of 2010 to … Let’s bring back King George III. When you get right down to it, he was not that bad when compared to what we have now.
Having George back could have an added benefit because, you may remember, he was rightfully known as Mad King George. This was not a reference to his being angry but mad as in he was crazy.
What we in the colonies could then become (with the help of our army of attorneys) is a Pick and Choose Monarchy. In our collective wisdom we could obey or not obey what George dictates because everyone knows he is insane.
We would be free from Taxation With Representation and move on becoming a Chaotic Republic.
Come to think of it, we already are a Chaotic Republic. Forget what I said above about King George. We don’t need him after all.
Would I kid u?
