I hope everyone gets to enjoy this weekend with family and friends. The most important part about celebrating any holiday is getting to spend time with loved ones. Today we celebrate our independence in which we declared that we were going to be a nation free of taxation without representation. I do think it is ironic that state sales tax went up 1% this weekend, but there are certain allowances that people make to have all the "extras" we seem to "have to have" nowadays. Of course, while taxation without representation was the primary reason for our separation from Great Britain, our fore fathers did create the foundation for a democratic nation with the intention that every single person has a voice concerning how our country is run. I hope everyone enjoys celebrating our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!
Happy Independence Day!!!
