They also owned the manufacturing and were able to stop payments to britain. Those who own everything now run the government, and take taxes directly out of your paycheck and tack it on directly to all your purchases.

The people who own Britain eventually got America back. 1918? 1917? I'm not sure. Sometime around then. Back then, some states were still living totally free (not great, but hey, free and full of true liberty)

My boss is the one giving the money to the banks. Hell, the bosses fucking let the banks and the gov step in like some sort of helpful middleman, and they don't even see the money till it's in the account. Disgusting. Businesses need to stop taking part in income tax, it's disgusting.

Perhaps if someone were to write up some sort of declaration of demands or intent that everyone could rally behind. A declaration of independence from taxes, if you will. Something that says "we refuse to pay any more taxes until those taxes are reduced and constrained to only fund that which is enumerated in the constitution".
