This Day in History: November 1

In the face of widespread opposition in the American colonies, Parliament enacts the Stamp Act, a taxation measure designed to raise revenue for British military operations in America.
Time was, Americans rebelled at taxes. In less than a week, millions will be going to the polls demanding they be raised.

not all Americans rebelled, even back then you had the lapdogs of big government. OK, so it could be argued that they weren't real Americans, but they were still here, just as the globalists are today.
