"well, the constitution was supposed to unite the united states right? so why would they all have individual tax if they're together?"

phil hums to answer yes.

"before we were together--united--you were phil and i was dan. we established this relationship--the constitution--that united us fully. your problems, they're now my problems. because i'm here to help you with anything. united."

phil grins widely. "that makes a lot of sense."

"see?" dan grins. "okay, so then george washington ran on in and..."
