Bailout Plans Pit Americans vs. Congress
America walking a fine line: America is walking a fine line these days. We are a generous and optimistic people. But our history shows that Americans can only be pushed so far when it comes to taxing their efforts.
The Boston Tea Party was the result of an unpopular tax levied by the British Parliament on tea imported into the colonies. The Stamp Act, requiring a tax to be paid on all legal documents, contracts and newspapers, triggered a revolt because it was passed without representation in Parliament. Politicians are trying to make it look like it's Democrats vs. Republicans when it comes to debating the economic future. But more and more, it's looking like Americans vs. Congress -- all the politicians, of both parties, who have been digging into the pockets of Americans under the guise of "helping." When it comes to that confrontation, my bet is on the American people. And that's the Savage Truth!- Loading Comments...
