Wonder how those Patriots would have acted if once the British were defeated the new government came and told them they need to "collect 4 cents on every dollar earned and 6 cents for every dollar paid and they (Gov) will keep it for safe keeping on top of a personal income tax not to exceed 34%. Then tax on the farm or any property owned, and everything you buy.
Oh and you're going to have to buy a license plate and sticker for every horse/wagon you own, need to go get tested and licensed to ride and drive, need a FOID card and register every gun, buy shots for the dogs and kids, license for the dog, and a extra tax on top of sales for the barber."
Then when he asks what all the money is for, tell him "while we will use some of the money for the military and defense three times that money will be used to pay anyone not working for two years, for single mothers and kids, the elderly and anyone who can't afford medical care."
