I see. So what gene is the tax avoidance gene and does it have rules of inheritance? What chromosome is it on?
Most of my ancestors arrived here in the 1880s. Pretty sure they knew that there was stuff here.
Well the majority of Americans are not descendants of the ~1 million whites that lived in the US at the time, I think it is a sweeping generalization to condense the entire american revolution as a tax revolt. Especially since there are about a dozen grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence. And frankly I find this all to be Lamarkian pseudoscience bigotry.
If I wanted to use bigotry to justify nonsense with no reference whatsoever to facts I would still believe in God. I get that the People's History of the United States has been blowing the minds of stoned edgy teens for a while now but maybe it's time to put away childish things.
