Fighting the New American Revolution — Energy Independence
The US is gearing up to celebrate Independence Day, the day when citizens vowed to fight against crushing taxes, inflation, and a rising price of necessities — Americans took a stand then against tyranny, and fought. Now as the country picnics and watches fireworks to commemorate that fight, is the situation any different?
Taxes, inflation, cost of necessities — what was once tea, is now Texas Tea — oil, all factors point to another fight.
