It's funny you say that Gary, because I think we are headed towards an all powerfull government, that will dictate so many restrictions to our lives and pursuit of happiness, that many people feel oppressed like the original colonist did. People feel already they are being overtaxed by the government. I for one find it interesting, that everytime a vehicle is sold, california taxes the buyer. When I bought my 48 Ford truck, registration fees were over 500 dollars. I told the guy behind the desk, that the truck probably cost about 500 dollars new. And if they had been collecting fees on it for close to 60 years at that time, that the owners could have bought several new trucks with what was paid to legally keep this one on the road!
He just said So?
So I have to say there is alot of merit to what you said.
