A mandate for change

[ryan costa]

Many years ago, Britain lowered the taxes on its tea companies and cleared away artificial market obstacles.

The American colonists were pissed. They couldn't make money smuggling tea or importing tea. The tax cuts had made British Tea too competitive in the global market. or something.

So...The colonists got drunk, dressed up as Indians, and dumped British Tea into the Harbor.

Today I honor their fortitude by drinking beer and smoking camel cigarettes by the lake.
