I am increasingly convinced that the American Revolution was a bad idea.
A terrible idea.
A deadly, murderous idea.
Canada (where I attended university, and where I learned the difference between Civilization and Barbarism) was also a British colony, but chose not to revolt.
Instead, Canada evolved -- peacefully -- into a civilized country, and then enjoyed the many benefits of being part of the British Commonwealth of Nations.
Notably, the Presbyterian minister, Tommy Douglas, who founded Canada's National Healthcare System -- which covers EVERYONE, and covers them COMPLETELY -- was voted "The Greatest Canadian" over a two year period of open voting. https://www.cbc.ca/
On the other hand...
Here in The United States of Barbaria we contaminated our national wellspring with unnecessary bloodshed.
Why did we do this?
Not surprisingly, The Founding Fathers were in pursuit of lower taxes.
Fact Checked By Snopes: Warren Buffett Says If Just 800 Other American Companies Paid The Same 21% Tax Rate That His Company "Berkshire Hathaway" Pays, There Would Be No Need For Any Individual American To Pay Any Federal Income Tax Or Any Social Security Tax
This is what "The Capitalist Deep State" hath wrought: complete ignorance of the underlying truth.
How embarrassing.
Starting a war over "lower taxes!" when every one of the rebellious founders was a rich man, particularly in terms of land, which they acquired just by grabbing it from the Native Americans - "savages" who "weren't using it anyway."
It fact checks.

"It couldn't happen here" is an even more bullshit statement than the bilge oozing incessantly from Malignant Messiah's mouth

The irony in ALL THIS, is that most Americans - perhaps a decisive majority - will be more upset by my factual analysis of what has happened -- and what is happening now -- than they are by the biblical abomination of Donald Trump.
