Thread Name: BS: What are your 4th July plans?
Subject: RE: BS: What are your 4th July plans?
In seventeen hundred and seventy-six
A group of American mavericks
Denounced the yoke of tyranny --
The tax on stamps, the tax on tea.

To tax themselves...and you'll admit,
They have don e VERY well at it.

Bit of doggeral I found in a magazine circa 1959 (and can't seem to shake).
