Unfortunately it's unlikely to be Bostonians who will lead this charge in the same fight enjoined against British tyrants back in the days of the Revolution.
Consider that 40% of Americans no longer pay federal income tax, and yet Obama wants to increase that number who no longer pay federal income tax, and yet increase tax rates on those individuals and small business owners making over $250K per year (that's the currently stated "line" proposed anyhow).
Does this not sound like we are on the verge of having a minority taxed without adequate representation? The taxes taken from the minority will be used at the discretion of the majority, including giving direct cash to the majority from those tax monies.
Is this going to make America stronger, or weaker? I wonder what John Adams would think about all this?
Here is a post on this from NRO: "I actually think it's exactly the form of tyranny the Founders feared. As an increasingly sizable majority pays no taxes, the minority's representation becomes ever more illusory. The minority will be taxed, its property rights will be eroded, and it will have no meaningful say in the matter. A tyrant is a tyrant, whether he's a king or a block-voting majority of dependents. As Obama and his ACORN friends used to say when he was a community organizer signing up half of Chicago, "It's a power thing."
