Independence Day, the 4th of July has been reduced to a brew, fireworks and a barbeque. America started as 13 British colonies established between 1607 to 1732. The American Revolution began in 1765, primarily due to taxation without representation. The chief question of framers of our republic was, “What are we getting for our money?” A question relevant today.

May 5, 1770 the Boston Massacre occurred wherein British soldiers shot and killed several colonists. In today’s terms, this would be called police violence.

May 10, 1773, Americans revolutionaries threw the Boston Tea Party when they decided to board an East India Trade company vessel, dumping tea into the harbor in rebellion against taxation.

Taxation was the spark that led the path to our nationhood. however, today you’ve been tricked into thinking that double Taxation and high taxes and unequal taxes are all good.

In 1774, the Continental Congress is established thereby creating self-government. The following year, Britain attempted to confiscate military supplies from colonists. Seizing guns and weapons is how governments prevent revolutions, freedom and independence.

Ever wonder why Google (Youtube) allows sexual immorality but violence is unacceptable?
