Come on Stewart. You know that they were protesting a tax imposed
by fiat by King George. You know, the whole "Taxation without
representation" thing.
Taxes are the dues you pay for living in relative safety and freedom.
Paying taxes is also the Christian thing to do, if I understand the
"Render
unto Caesar" teaching properly.
Well the gentleman at the Boston Tea Party certainly thought so, and
there was a rebellion (Called a revolutionary war) fought over that
concept.

You mean it's patriotic to not pay you taxes!?
Why didn't I think of that!
No wonder the radical right loves the lying Joe the non-plumber.
