[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] too true Tex... i wonder how many US citizens know that the reason the Brits wanted to raise our taxes (you know, on Tea?) was cuz the Brits were having budget problems due to the Seven Years war or as it was known int he Americas the French and Indian War? That's where George W got his battle training as British Colonial soldier. The 7 year war doubled Britains debt and they beleive we colonists owed our "fair share"... the colonists said they wouldn't pay without representation.... it would be a good debate whether Britain could have bought off the Colonies with a seat or two at parliamnet to diffuse the no taxation without representation issue... there were slightly more than 2 million Colonists in 1770... Britains population was only 6.5 million a the time. theoretically we should have had quite a few seats at the table. I don't get the sense that was what the colonists really wanted tho... oh, i should add that ht eSeven Years War was a real world war, it was fought all over the place, not just here, but it did mostly start here [/QB][/QUOTE]
