HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GEORGE
February 22, 2007
Today is George Washington's birthday. Few people anymore realize that he was the most important figure in America in five decades. It would be as though President Kennedy had just now retired from public life. He's called "the indispensable man" for a reason.
He left his mark on the tax law both through his efforts in writing a constitution with a strong central government and his determination to enforce the federal tax laws. The picture above shows him actually leading the troops as commander-in-chief of the armed forces to suppress the Whiskey Rebellion, a tax uprising in Pennsylvania.
Ed Brown, take note.
