On this day in 1776, American patriots revolted against the British government because they were sick and tired of being forced to pay an enormous amount of money in taxes to a tyrannical government, while having no say in how the money was spent, and receiving no benefits from it—does that sound familiar?!
Every year, we celebrate our “freedom” by remembering the day the founding fathers established the United States as an independent nation—and while we are waving American flags, drinking too much beer and watching fireworks with our families, do we ever take a moment to think about the fact that we aren’t actually free?

@rachelblevins it is nice to see your content for the first time. Also your interview on TheAnarchast was very cool. Keep up the posts here - your message is on point.

True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right.
Absolutely!

You are right, Rachelblevins. Paying taxes is one thing, but the foolishly way they squander, my hard earned money is painful.
hi @rachelblevins discover what happened with Hugo Chavez and what happened with some former Latin American presidents.

BTW It was a 3% tax. Yes, the American revolution was fought over a 3% tax. Tax in Las Vegas is currently at 8%. Hmmm.
But we do have a say. Really the biggest problem we have is that only half our population bothers to make their voice heard. If they did we'd see a lot fewer career politicians, and a lot less corruption.
