What was George Washington's personal interest in quelling the Whiskey Rebellion?
Q. There is a common assertion that this country is in moral decline. And I wonder if thats really the case. There are taxes on privilege and taxes on production (Freedom). One is moral and the other not. So to determine the decline we must look back to when liberty itself was cheapened. The articles of confederation did not allow production taxes. And then that was lost in the constitution. What were the issues of the rebelion in that context, with an extra focus on what were George's motivations. Did the moral decline actually start with George Washington?

A. The tax affected smaller producers more than larger ones. George Washington was one such large producer of whiskey. And it was Alexander Hamilton who suggested the whiskey and carriage tax. But the result of the rebellion was that smaller producers in Tennessee and Kentucky benefited while Pennsylvania not so much. That's why we have better Whiskey and Bourbon now. LOL But it's moot since that tax was repealed.

What would George Castanza do if he were still working for the Yankees?
Q. What would good old George do if he still worked for the Yankees as he did when on Seinfeld? Let's say that that since the Yankees appear in trouble, what would he do in the hopes of turning things around and look good in the eyes of Steinbrenner? Rememeber his uniform idea? I know that this is not a real life question , but would like to hear any and all answers. The best creativity gets 10 points.:)

A. He would probably come up with some stupid thought that the underwear (cup, strap, whatever) is too tight/plastic/constrictin g and want the organization to fund a new improved cup/strap/whatever that was made of a new fangled fabric that would itch and distract the team from winning anyway, thereby forcing his resignation from the team and landing him back in his parents house without a job or a future. Then they would show the back of Steinbrenner in the last scene scratching 'The Itch" himself and cursing George C.
