There’s still a difference…King George didn’t require you to pay the tax if you didn’t buy tea. He only required you to pay the tax if you bought tea. Even King George wasn’t that much of a tyrant.
To explain, that’s what my pastor and I say half-jokingly when we hit upon a powerful spiritual concept that bears sharing with the congregation. IMNHO, your observation bears making a campaign theme and commercial.
I wonder if EdthePastor has heard or uses this useful phrase.
