Not sure the right decisions were made back in those days.

Given the choice between King George III and Sleepy Joe the 1st?

Almost fun fact: While it is unclear exactly when King George first received a copy of the DOI, his first official reaction was not made until 31 Oct 1776

Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de_Lafayette

Just exchanged one set of tax collectors for another. July 4 is perfect, a couple months after April 15 so you forgot how much you paid the government.
