"I did answer when we first got started in taxing the citizens which is where I was going in the first place...I was saying it happened under Washingtons watch and you will have to excuse me for not listing all those involved in making it law...after all don't the presidents get credit for things congress pass during his watch?"
To make it quite simple, Washington was NOT president when our first government imposed a tax on the "little guy". Please read about Shay's Rebellion. That was over taxes. The time frames are in my previous post. It wasn't "on his watch" it was before "his watch". I was stating facts that he worked for the British and not the French...So if he was of French ancestory, would he have sided with the French instead?....so where did I get my history wrong?... " Well, Skeeter, he rendered service to his sovreign in the 7 Years War. He was, as was everyone else born in the Colonies at that time, a British Subject. That's one of the reasons that he served the Crown as a member of the Virginia Militia. One could also say quite correctly that he served Virginia in defendeing her western frontier against attack by the French and Indians. If he wer of French ancestery but born and reared in Virginia and living there at the time of the 7 Year's War, I suspect that much the same would have occurred. He'd have served the Crown as a member of the local Militia. Later.

I agree on the Isrealies. Stay the heck outa it unless they WANT our help. As far as I am concerned the hexbullsha* need to be be taught a lesson for jumping on Isreal so let the Isrealies teach them that lesson and stay outa it. Sheesh we aren't the worlds keepers, and the Isrealies SHOULD be ticked and going to war.
ANYWAY back to work. . . . . . GoodOlBoy
