POV: You tried to make the filthy Colonials pay taxes
>"POV">not POVBack to tiktok with you
>>65302729>doesn't understand he's one amongst hundreds of shell shocked red coats
>>65302499it's funny because modern americans pay taxes unfathomable to the founding fathers
>>65302499OR you could've granted them representation in Parliament but decided to double down instead.
>>65302775And you pay less?>>65302729It's funny how Wellington cried when the body bags of all his fag peninsular veterans came back while the UK was surrendering west Florida and all assistance East of Oregon after getting mauled by a bunch of dipshit hillbillies they outnumbered 30:1
>>65302775Modern Americans have universal suffrage and representation, something that the founding fathers did not have. It was "No taxation WITHOUT REPRESENTATION," not "No taxation." Please get over it.
>>65302775Not all of them :^)
>>65304655>>65304666Which is ironically closer to what the so called founding fathers really wanted. It was never about saving the poor downtrodden colonial settlers from undue tax burden, it was always about rich plantation owners wanting not to have to pay a cut to the King, because they all wanted to be kings of their own little fiefdoms. They just sold the no representation as a way to legitimize it.
>>65302775>with representation You retards forget this part.
>>65303485>mild tax>that they didn't vote for>"try" Yeah Washington himself rode up, told them to go home and the tax was repealed.
>>65304676>any of thisNo.
>>65304678Yes
>>65304655That should cut both ways though>No representarion without taxationUS citizens that do not pay income, business pr property taxes for at least 2 years prior should not be eligible to vote in Federal elections.Maybe an exemption for disabled vets.
>>65303485You forgot also trying that window tax shit in the colonies, and of all things, the fucking taxation of playing cards.
>>65302775>modern americans pay taxes unfathomable to the founding fathersInflation is the worst tax of them all
>>65302499Hey how come the English didn't rape the shit out of the Americans like they did with the Irish and the poojeets and everybody else?
>>65306054america is far away and was backed by the french empirethat's why half the constitution is literally written in french and all the founding fathers spoke itand despite fighting a war over taxation now america literally funds a foreign government and treats their citizens better than their own (isreal) so what the fuck
>>65306063>that's why half the constitution is literally written in frenchWeird thing to make up
>>65304678Ah yes you are represented, and not at all a captured goyim cattle whose vote is worth less than a pint of piss in the pacific
>>65302499>All of 2%Hillarious that Murcans pay significantly more now and they still get 0 representation (billionaires influence ALL policy)Should have stayed within the bong empire imo.
>>65302499I find it amusing how they're assblasted about getting kicked out, isn't 3 slave colonies enough?
>>65306077>He can't handle le banterKek, soccer fans are great
>>65306077America was by far their most successful colony, the largest and richest in resources and the most industrialized and ethnically english by the time of the revolution. It was a really, really hard pill to swallow. Not that it matters, for the reasons mentioned plus the geographical distance, secession was going to happen regardless. Imagine being richer than your home country by several orders of magnitude and still obey them.
>>65306077quality keks
>>65306054The hiberian Regiment of Spain and the Irish Brigade of France did a shit load of heavy lifting in the revolution. The modern marine corps gets is motto from the Irish brigade, who served on Bonhomme Richard
>>65302499GPT can you make this pic 20% less homo erotic
>>65302499>another turdie divide and conquer threadSo did Russia lose another refinery? Any reason for OP embarrassing himself?
>>65305847Grok what was the average salary in 1932 compared to today?
>>65304655>something that the founding fathers did not haveSomething that the founding fathers did not want. Look at the state of America now and tell me they were wrong.
>>65306071you guys took in lafayette because he was a mason (jew) and french philosophers helped shaped your entire constitution
>>65306192How does that relate to the post you're quoting?
>>65306193the constitution was built from french ideas ergo most of the constitution was primarily written in frenchyou just rewrote it in englishhope that clears things up for you spud
>>65306196Ah so you're making things up and insulting people for not reading your mind
>>65302499The Brits won basically every significant battle except for Yorktown.
I mean relying on tens of thousands of French and Spanish and the Dutch navy to save you ass is a bit embarrassing.
>>65306646>significant
>>6530249918th century warfare wouldn't have looked like that pic. Most of it was maneuvering until one of the armies got into an untenable defensive position and then was promptly defeated in a quick and decisive fight (and surrendered). Army sizes also numbered in the thousands or even high-hundreds with "major" battles only incurring a couple hundred casualties. A lot of the revolutionary war also involved small skirmishes rather than intense, fixed fights and when pitched battles did happen the British were mostly dominant, until late in the war at least (so no 1000 yard stare, crawling around in the mud while covered in the blood of your hundreds of dead compatriots).That picture is much more indicative of 19th century warfare, and something like the American Civil War.
>>65304655So um.. who is that person representing you?
>that time britain raped washington and left
>>65306072You keep insisting on this.
alot of butthurt redcoats in here kek
>>65309582What happened in Louisiana brit bong?
>>65302499not>POV: The French finally showed up
>>65304655>taxes go up over time>representation doesn't go up over time3% taxes would be a reasonable deal for 1776 levels of political representation. For today's rates my mayor would need to secure a two thirds majority referendum before he buys new whiteboard markers.
>>65311319east India corporation ? its patent is issued by teh sovereign by writ of the divine.
>>65310161the french supplied the entire war effort
>>65306077That’s just funny though. Probably even -100% good natured too but your panties seem a little tight to appreciate an irl shitpost
>>65306564Damn it’s like the space race all over again. You’re coping like us burgers in a Vietnam War thread
>>65311562but you lost the space race to sputnik and changed it to the moon landing race to save face even though landing on the moon ultimately achieved nothing but a bunch of dead astronauts?
>>65310161and how did Bunker Hill end?failing to hold a strong position like that against an opponent that don't even outnumer you two to one isn't some great feat
>>65311569>how did Bunker Hill end?With the British fleeing from Boston.
Colonials>trashBritish>trashFrench>trashSpanish>GODS
>>65305847This picture isn't even accurate. The real prices of goods in 1932, and how much you could get for $20 (roughly a week's wages):Gas - $0.10/gallon (200 gallons)Milk - $0.40/gallon (50 gallons)Eggs - $0.30/dozen (66 dozen)FC stamp - $0.02 (1000 stamps)
I don't know what I'm going to do bros, I just can't catch up with their army, and the Spanish and French are breathing down my fucking neck and the spics sunk one of my fleets near Gibraltar
>>65306196meds?
>>65309835uhhhh...blimey uh...uhhhhh...BLOODY 'EL WE GOT THE OL' ONE-TWO GTFO-AROO WE DID
>>65309988>For today's rates my mayor would need to secure a two thirds majority referendum before he buys new whiteboard markers.As long as we stay the most powerful force in the world, worth it.
>>65311564>ultimately achieved nothing but a bunch of dead astronauts?>a bunch>3Lol.
>>65311564When the commies then sent a man into space (died), don’t be mad that the Americans accepted the ante and sent 24 men beyond LEO, 24 of whom came back. Sputnik was the darn starting pistol firing. The USSR held less animosity over this crushing loss than you, dork
>>65314497sputnik won the space racesorry you're upset about it
>>65306564What like Cowpens and King's Mountain?
>>65304676Rare to see this kind of truth in this place
>>65306176>Look at the state of America now and tell me they were wrongbeing the premier, sole superpower for the past 30+ years?
>>65305847>Average wage was $1,400 a year in 1932>~$.70 an hour, $5.60 a day~$20 would be ~28.6 hours of workGas was ~$.18 a gallon in 1932 so $20 could get you ~111 gallons of gas>Average wage is currently $66,622>~$32.38 an hour, $259.04 a day28.6 hours of work would be ~$926At the current price of ~$3.80 you could get ~243 gallons of gas. But sure lets go back to shiny metal that can destroy economies simply by flooding said country's economy with more gold.
>>65314835>physical assets are imaginary>Shiny rock is valuable because I say it is!!!okay kike.
>>65309816It’s funny the Brit’s come to an American gun board primarily to cry about Russia and then they end up actually getting butthurt on July 4
>>65305847lol goldbugs are fucking retarded
>>65305847>conflates inflation with appreciation of gold to make his retarded point. so i guess inflation is actually 60,000 times worse today than 15 years ago because bitcoin was $1 back then right
>>65302499I think most of these cats were Americans
>>65309835Do Americans still boast about warcrimes? >Crossing of the Delaware>VietnamHuh, I guess they do.
>>65322533What war crimes?
>>65322372Not really the same though, gold always had real world value in the modern era unlike bitcoin that started out as worthless.
