    There lived a certain man, in Russia long ago
    He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
    Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
    But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
    He could preach the Bible like a preacher
    Full of ecstasy and fire
    But he also was the kind of teacher
    Women would desire

    Ra-Ra-Rasputin
    Lover of the Russian Queen
    ...

    I understand that back in the days of the Founding Fathers America
    financed itself almost entirely by tariffs and other direct taxes.

    That said just because they did things that way in the first 100 years
    of America shouldn't mean we should do things that way now. That
    WASN'T what made America great so shouldn't be part of making America
    great again even if that was more than just a campaign slogan.

    Somehow I don't think America is read for v2 of the Boston Tea Party
    though...
