As a friendly historical reminder, the following tax acts led to an all-out war.
Sugar Act (1764)
Stamp Act (1765)
Townshend Acts [Led to the Boston Massacre in 1770 and the Boston Tea Party in 1773] (1767-1768)
Intolerable Acts [aka: Coercive Acts] (1774)
The Boston Port Act
Massachusetts Government Act
Administration of Justice Act
Quartering Act
Quebec Act
The government decided to take the colonists' weapons (where have we heard that before?) and the Battles of Lexington and Concord began on April 19, 1775, and thus began the Revolutionary War. Independence was formally declared on July 4th, 1776.
The rest, as they say, is history. And what a glorious history it is.
The Sons of Liberty are Eternal and Freedom, once obtained, shall Never be Extinguished.
It's always about the money and taxes.
