The Boston Tea Party was a reaction to the 1773 Tea Act - the effect of which, actually, was to reduce taxes to the Colonies on tea. Ferling, p. 94. American history has been anti-tax. Colonists resented any taxation. 9/24

U.S. politicians only are popular if they promise “no” or lower taxes. Former VP Walter Mondale said he’d have to raise taxes. Mondale lost to Reagan who, in eight (8) years, increased the national deficit from $994 billion to $2.9 trillion. 10/24

People love “free” things. As already noted, until the 1960s students in California did not pay tuition for college. In Indiana tuition at I.U., in the early 1970s for in-state students only was twenty dollars ($20) per credit hour. 11/24

I guess I'm from a stratum of soil a couple of layers beneath you. I'm older than dirt.

In "Catch 22" one of the characters tried to be as boring as possible so life would seem to stretch out inexorably.

To paraphrase Woody Harrelson's character from "Doc Hollywood" - I would've gone to medical school if it hadn't been for all that science sh**.
