Marquis de Lafayette (Ben Acker)

"If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem" - Eldridge Cleaver. In these dangerous times, many rulers and people of power have overlooked these words of wisdom. They have believed that to get whatever they want, others must suffer. This is, to them, the way of life. Take taxation for example. Does anyone enjoy being taxed? Do citizens hope for the day they can give away their hard-earned money to who-knows-where? Of course not. But there must be someone who will pay for federal services, like the mail, or police, or zoos. Our kings, queens, and dictators, even our "higher" classes believe that they can stick all the taxation on the ones below them, so they don't have to experience these horrors. They don't need to hand away their money, because others will do it for them. So what happens when these solely-taxed people don't accept the fact they must be the only ones taxed? What happens when a lower end of society just gets fed up with what others think they can get away with? REVOLUTION. It has been popping up everywhere. From the Americas, to France, to other countries in Europe, and now Haiti. For years, our economy has profited off of Haiti's sugarcane production. Their natives, enslaved by our generals and officials, toiled day and night to keep our economy running. Finally, they reached that point when they just won't harvest that next stalk, when they won't accept the fact that they have to harvest this sugarcane for foreigners. And so rebellion ensued. Now, may their independence last forever! This imprisonment under Napoleon upon the island of Haiti has gone on for too long. No longer will the natives be enslaved and forced to work for our government's benefit. Vive la Revolution!
