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.

Yep. 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!

P.J. O'Rourke: King George III was a piker compared to Washington, D.C. And President George I (Washington, that is) would demand today that Washington D.C. change its name lest his memory be further dishonoured by an organised crime organisation masquerading as a properly construed American government.

Aherrmm... To my amateur knowledge of history -- it was 3 percent. I do not know of a Revolution in history which ever occured over 1 percent... but in Early Capitalist days, 3 percent was a good chunk of your Net Profit.

In these modern, industrialized days, however, I should be quite content if the Government subsisted upon 3 percent.

Otherwise your post is correct.
