Independence Day is a lie at best. The American working class during the 18th century didn’t care for King Georges trade and taxation policies, but at least that monster was known to them and across the Atlantic. The white aristocracy that had risen in America proportionally with the economic growth of the colonies, had the potential of being an equally oppressive monster. Fact is, early on most colonists weren't in favor of war, and saw that they would merely be trading an oppressive white aristocracy from across the pond for one that was in their back yard. If not for clever propaganda by said homegrown white aristocracy, the people would have never fought against George. The American revolutionists fought a war for the white aristocracy here, and have been slaves to their capitalist system ever since. If you doubt this, just take a look at americas congress now….
I always laugh about Independence Day. The only independence was for the white male slave owning oligarchy we laughingly call the founding fathers. Abigail Adam’s asked her husband to remember the ladies but women didn’t get the right to vote for 144 years.
Good points.... BUT::::: the taxes paid to the english were paid by ALL..... So, the leaders at the time took up the mantel to defend everyone....
This was NOT only about taxes.....The Anglican army shit governors were killing anyone they wanted to without reason....
I think maybe you watch too many Mel Gibson movies?!
