While some of you guys were programming by age 6, you may have missed this day in history class. Give it a read, substitute the words Boston Tea Party for downvoters of blatant racketeering, British Parliament for the very top few that are the king makers of steemit. Just the first paragraph, that will give you an idea what this community will be thinking about your idiot response to 'highest valued content.' Which of course will mean buying upvotes will be illegal on here because we need to in all good faith find the best content, and that will be easy with the upvoting/downvoting we have here then right? So the guy with an asshole, and a pocket full of money won't automatically buy way to the trending page in a high stakes game of posting poker by steemit. Unbelievable! Yeah read the link geniuses (in all seriousness--geniuses except when a dollar sign is involved).

Intolerable Acts
The Intolerable Acts was the term invented by 19th century historians to refer to a series of punitive laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 after the Boston Tea Party. The laws were meant to punish the Massachusetts colonists for their defiance in the Boston Tea Party protest in reaction to changes in taxation by the British to the detriment of colonial goods. In Great Britain, these laws were referred to as the Coercive Acts.
The acts took away self-governance and historic rights of Massachusetts, triggering outrage and resistance in the Thirteen Colonies.
