Because they were tired of the British Parliament, and because they were tired of getting raped in taxes from across the pond.

Fast forward to 2015:

Americans bitch and moan about the government.

Americans are tired of paying taxes.

What do you guys think really changed with us becoming our own country?

What would the American continent be like today, if we were still apart of the current UK?

We aren't so much tired of paying taxes, we are tired of paying taxes so 5 generations of your family can live on welfare.

What did those early American rebels really gain after the war ended? Sure later generations got the benefit of being a free country, but for the people who lived in that generation, it must have felt like a war for nothing.

Almost like how our population views the wars/conflicts we fight in today.

It was semi funny the first 50 times you said it.

I provide links when I take ideas/articles from other places.

I come up with most of the threads on my own.

47% or so of Americans don't pay income taxes. Why would they complain?

The people who complain about taxes are the ones who have to pay them. A large segment of our population are dependent on government programs that depend on tax dollars. They have no reason to become upset over taxes. They see big government as a good thing therefore they see increasing taxes as a good thing.

My opinion is that there is no way that 47% of Americans should be exempt from paying taxes.

I am assuming that Archer is not counting children and retired senior citizens.

If you have a job ( doesn't matter if you are on welfare or foodstamps etc...) then you should have to pay something. Times "something" by millions of people, and you start to get somewhere.

We all now that America can't continue to operate in this manner. I doubt I will see any social security.

-Probably not a lot different from the U.K. at least in terms of social programs. To be honest, we aren't that different anyway. Most all developed countries are highly socialized.

My grandfather was a member of the SAR. I could be a member too, if I wanted to. I'm not sure what they do today though.

Roughly half of Americans who pay no Federal income tax do so because they simply don't earn enough money. The other half doesn't pay taxes because of special provisions in the tax code that benefit certain taxpayers, notably the elderly and working families with children. For example, the tax code excludes a portion of Social Security income and gives larger standard deductions and tax credits to the elderly. And many working families with children qualify for both the child credit and the earned income tax credit. Together, the elderly and working families with children account for 74 percent of all nontaxable households that aren't excluded by income level alone [source: Williams].
