the Tea Act taxed the tea at source (i.e. in India) so there was no tax collection in the colonies. The act allowed the tea to go directly to America instead of having to be imported to Britain and then re-exported to the colonies. This made the tea 9d per lb cheaper, even with the 3d tax. It also allowed the East India Company to sell the tea exclusively to chosen merchants (consignees) in the American colonies. This established monopolies in America and offended colonial merchants. In addition the government made a loan of £1.4 million to the East India Company which was to be allowed to ship tea directly and on its own account to America. The Company would pay the 3d duty on the tea's entry into the colonies but was exempt from reimbursing the English customs for the 1/- English duty which would previously have fallen on it. The consequence was that tea would sell at 10/- per lb in America, not the £1 which it had fetched recently. This would increase its consumption and so the Company would be helped out of its financial difficulties. Furthermore, the Company aided the government by taking measures against smuggling now that it was delivering direct to America. The tea was consigned in known quantities and to authorized merchants acting as Company agents. However, by that time, the colonists were suspicious of British motives and the Tea Act led directly to the Boston Tea Party. http://www.boston-tea-party.org/tea-act.html |

This is about Republicans over-reaching, claiming mandates where none exist, and politically attacking democratic-leaning institutions for purely political reasons. Damn! I thought it was about balancing a budget. You can't steal all the money, then claim a crisis for which the only cure is to fire everyone. The people see a 14 billion dollar debt and a 17 billion dollar bailout of Wall Street. They see some of the thieves trying to break up the Unions, and they are ****ed.

Be it local, state or federal, they extract more $$$$'s out of the consumer in total than those 'greedy capitalists' do. All that without doing any exploration, drilling, transportation, or refining. Nah, they just use the gas tax to build and maintain the Interstates and local roads your petroleum powered vehicles need to move from point to point (to say nothing of the expense of enforcing traffic laws, placing and maintaining road signs and traffic signals). Oh, sorry, I almost forgot. According to your thinking, that must all come for free.

I doubt that. The only place more extreme than this Hell hole is Iran or maybe that 'stan where they boil people in oil. We are fed propaganda and jingoism all day long. We are offered the same mediocre product with 4 different labels and we think we have a choice. Help. Sorry, my point was not understandable enough. I was raising an economic standpoint... The U.S. is able to use a tool called "economic protectionism", but in Europe, none of this is possible... In the U.S., the government finances in a direct or indirect way industries, in Europe we decided that it is bad... In some ways, Europe is far more orthodox (economically speaking) than the U.S. This results in an absence of flexibility (in Europe). Everybody stays in his position and people suffer from the lack of imagination from their political leaders... Sebastien. |

The-Mark-of-the-Obama© = $6.66 Gasoline : Crashing The US Economy Do you know why cars in Europe drink less gasoline? Because the governments forced the car makers to make them less thirsty. Do you know how? By raising the price of gasoline adding taxes... A higher price on gasoline makes cars less thirsty.... At the end you pay the same price for an equal distance but you better manage oil resources and reject less **** in the air. Sebastien. |
