The Townshend Act of 1767
The tea tax
Money for resources!
Why
He thinks that it will defray imperial expenses in the colonies which is why this act is put together. The French and Indian War left us in debt so taxes are needed. This tax will help England regain its former wealth. We are not trying to punish you so do your part and pay your taxes!!
Taxes must be paid immediately
DO YOUR PART!!!
ATTENTION
British soldiers have permission to search and seizure, come into homes or break in and make sure you have taxed your items! They may open doors, trunks and drawers, ect.
BECAUSE
We chose to tax these items because almost every colonists owns them them.
