As we close on this Independence Day weekend, remember that our forefathers tossed the British Empire out of here over a 2% tax on tea — taxation without representation. We threw off the King's government and established our own.

Today, here are just a few of our taxes:

Federal Income
State Income
Local Income
Corporate Income
Social Security
Medicare
Sales
Property
Capital Gains
Gas
Excise
Estate
Gift
Payroll
Vehicle Registration Tax
Hotel Occupancy Tax
Tobacco Tax
Alcohol Tax
Utility Tax
Toll Road Tax
Amusement Tax
Telecommunications Tax
Environmental Tax
Luxury Goods Tax

We never had a revenue problem. We have a theft problem.

The government is a crime organization.

Time to stand up. Remember who we are as a country. And where we came from.
