Americans paying more in taxes than for food, clothing

[DemonGeminiX]

I kinda have a feeling of an idea of what he means, I just don't know if it's right, and if it is, how it applies to the US way of life. For some odd reason, 'property taxes' keeps popping in my head, but I don't think that's what he means by it. I know he's been here, so he must have some sort of first-hand observations that led him to this idea.

And it's just such an odd phrase...

Ok, explain what you mean by "alternative quasi-fiefdom universe".

I made it up

I think I meant how you are a bunch of independent states united by your British ancestry

However, in hindsight, as individuals you can be quite patriotic to the country as a whole. So, alas I still don't understand.

I think that word needs it's own smiley

You would be burned at the stake by the left in this country for assuming their ancestry.
