The people that are protesting this way are so so wrong.
Take this image cropping up in sigs:
Seriously, if you want to go by the American Revolution...then you should just boycott using the Marketplace. Similar to how the Colonials boycotted tea and in fact tossed it into Boston Harbor for that oh so famouse tea party.
And being an American company means no fees? That is just laughable. Try looking at the terms for bank accounts and credit cards. Full of loads and loads of fees. American companies charge all kinds of fees.
Do you people even know why the colonists said "No taxation without representation"? It was because some portions of their society were represented in the governement but everyone was taxed. As in, it wasn't fair because the colonies were treated differently. However, Gaia is not like that. No portions or groups of Gaia have leaders elected to represent in some kind of Gaia ruling body. Everyone is the same. Everyone gets the same fee and everyone has the same ability for representation. It's call the Site Feedback forum.
Seriously, stop being mindless sheep and just saying what other people say without a thought of what the actual meaning is.

They're comparing the American Revolution to the 2% Marketplace fee on Gaia?
History Major Karen (its a super hero name) is upset! :[
