American colonists were outraged over the tea tax, which had existed since the 1767 Townshend Revenue Act and did not get repealed like the other taxes in 1770, and believed the Tea Act was a tactic to gain colonial support for the tax already enforced.
Arranging Time Off Work. About 60 percent of new fathers are able to take time off work after their baby's birth, and of those, 75 percent take off 1-4 weeks. Since most time off is unpaid (unless there is vacation time owed), it can take some serious planning to figure out how to be there for your new family and get the bills paid at the same time.
Re: Father wants baby bonding. First, the term baby bonding appears to be related to time off under FMLA, which has nothing to do with SDI. If you are asking for time off to bond with the baby, you must qualify under the FMLA or its California equivalent, so you can take up to 12 weeks off to be with your newborn.
