I've read many accounts of the Revolutionary War, and the colonials were mostly offended by sending their money to England. Any tax seems heavy if the proceeds do not benefit the taxpayer. > I'd be interested to see the anthropological chain of inference for this. I read it many years ago. Sorry, I don't have a reference.

> Any tax seems heavy if the proceeds do not benefit the taxpayer. I dunno, man. Caesar asks for his money, and I just give it to him. I don't really have much of a say. > I regret not having a photographic memory. That's fine. I don't have a photographic memory either; I just have a few boxes of 3x5 notecards and accompanying topic/source indices in a notebook.
