Happy Independence Day, America!

It's not "Happy July 4th". It's "Happy Independence Day".
July 4th is when the United States of America celebrates its hard won victory for independence, free from the tyrannical rule from Great Britain. Back then, we were a colony who got fed up with oppressive taxation without representation. Peaceful redress was ignored by the King of England, and our forefathers decided that they would have to declare their independence. We had to fight for it, on many battlefields, but we finally won and became captains of our own destiny.
How far we have come, yet how much we have returned to a people who are getting taxed without our leaders in Washington DC listening to the people.
