The Senate has rejected legislation to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits, essentially guaranteeing that millions of Americans will see a steep rise in costs at the beginning of the year.
Though the ideas espoused for the revolution might be grand, the cause and motivation behind those who joined the revolution was purely monetary.
Rich didn’t like being taxed so they made their slaves join the army.
George Washington didn’t like the fact that the British having lost the French Indian war made a pact with the Indians which stopped his business of prospecting.
The American revolution was a war of businessmen against the government in England. The government was and is the same; in the past only rich, land owning white men could vote or form government. Now it is the corporations or rich white men.
I say this as an American. Half the “Founding Fathers” were slave owners and did not see a problem with subgrating other humans into forced labor. The American enterprise has been a business all the way back to the first white man setting foot on this continent. I guess I just proved you talking point.
The American Revolution, the violent uprising that gave these assholes governmental power, proves otherwise.

Wasn’t saying they were good or bad. Just that revolution is violent and it works
There have been a few that weren’t violent, too. Portugal, Czechoslovakia, Ukraine getting rid of their Russian-installed quisling, South Korea.

“How is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of negroes?”
as Samuel Johnson argued during the American revolution. Apologies for unenlightened 18th-century language.
It is OK. I got my Masters in 18th and 19th century lit. Johnson was right on the money with that quote and I say that as an American.
