    Shit, At this point we need the tax evader gang to rise up. Like wtf am I even paying federal taxes for at this point?? I live in a deep blue state for a reason and every opportunity to remove federal funding is being taken against us here, I’ve been kicked off my disability benefits (I have cystic fibrosis and I’m post lung transplant with debilitating PTSD from both) I also happen to be a woman who’s country is actively disenfranchising her, yet I’m paying federal taxes? For what?? No taxation without representation and I’m sure as fuck not being represented

    The taxes were a small reason. Big reasons were continuing slave owning and genociding the indigenous population.

    My country was founded by “Please, Mr. Big Empire, please stop hitting me!”

    (I’m Romanian. We’ve been invaded by everyone. Interestingly enough, never by the British Empire. You’d think we wouldn’t miss that one. Bit odd, innit?)

    There was criminal colonies all over the British empire

    A lot of rich Brits also colonised Australia after the basic infrastructure was there
