The colonials were paying about 1/40 the tax burden we pay today. Maybe we should have stuck with British?

Well if you had waited we would have built you a railway established a mail service and put up telephone lines as we did everywhere else in the empire. The average 'joe' to use your phrase in England was getting fucked over just as badly as you lot were...

Reagon is a top ten president in my opinion but i think he is the only one. I'd put my order like this....
FDR
Abe Lincoln
George Washington
Andrew Jackson
T. Roosevelt
T. Jefferson (Not a good presidency but he got the Louisianna Purchase, good enough for me)
Woodrow Wilson
Ronald Reagon
Madison
Monroe

Yeah you lot pestered us into giving them back. In retrospect that was a dumb fucking move as only 3 of our postwar colonies have a higher gdp now than they did under us. In addition probably a third of them have gone into civil war or dictatorship. The others with some exceptions have been nicely raped by economic colonialists who unlike us put nothing back in...


It would probably surprise you to know that in the last 50 years of the empire it was rarely if ever in any significant profit. You might have to rethink that as the only reason it existed...


The smart plan would have been to let us do a structured withdrawl making sure that they were ready for independence. Then again the smart plan in vietnam would have been to leave it the democratic government that established itself post WWII instead of flying the French over ther to reclaim their colony. Good job guys :D
