And so, you ask, why we 'mercan's revolted against Great Britain?

You did the right thing because if there’s one thing the English specialise in it’s tax. In his budget Gordon Brown (aka Stalin) added a delayed £0.02 increase in petrol duties which has put the price of a litre of petrol over £1.00 in some areas (£3.79/$7.73 per gallon). What was amusing was that they added VAT on top of the £0.02 increase in duties to bring the total increase to £0.0235. While I might otherwise have found this annoying I’m moving to Panama in April so I just found the absurdity of adding tax onto tax quite funny.
