The Unjust Taxes only which led to the American Revolution took only 1% of the average income. If the were to see the progressive income tax which sucks up to 50% of the average American income, you would see Capitol Hill overrun with men wearing tri corner hats and sharpened bayonets.

The Seattle PI is so far off the Socialist deep end as to have no value to any intelligent discussion.

If someone ever does figure out a way of reaching back to tap the minds of our Founding Fathers in more detail, whatever you do, don't tell them about rush hour, tanning parlors or cheese in spray cans. They might retroactively decide to bag the whole independence thing as a bad social experimentSheesh. A weak ending to a simpistic article.

And you'd see 100,000 black liberals lead by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton calling 'racists slave owners' to all those who dare to kill their gravy train!

If they could "see us now", they would probably need some heavy meds. Of course, I think that the founding fathers would be delighted with Free Republic!

I suspect we're going to read quite a few of these "screeds" tonight and tomorrow. Some people on here just do NOT like this country.

These "what would the founders think" screeds reek. IMO most of them would be amazed that the Republic has survived. Full stop.
