Tax Day Tea Party

I’m all in on this idea:

An organization called Tax Day Tea Party is getting ready to stage a national tea party on April 15 income tax return day, protesting what day call the “out of control government spending.”

The Tax Day Tea Party is the second round of the Nationwide Tea Party protests. The first tax party was in Chicago. It built upon the success of the February 27th “Chicago Tea Party” Rallies.

The organizers are now working to develop an even larger day of protests set to happen on April 15th, 2009 and have named it National Tax Day Tea Party.

If we can really gin up interest in this, we should turn it into a nationwide general strike – everyone who works to take April 15th off and pour into the streets to let the politicians know that we are, finally, mad as heck and aren’t going to take it any more. No more of this utter BS where bankrupt corporations like GM and Citi get billions of our dollars while we’re sitting down here wondering what to do with houses worth 50% of their value of two years ago. I haven’t even looked at my 401K in a month as I just don’t want to see it.

Yes, its very true that I’m a conservative – but don’t any of you liberals feel a bit burned by now? I mean, come on: the guy promised us not a single earmark, and now it looks like we’ve got 9,000 of them coming down the pike. Just how many tax cheats has he nominated? We, the people, need to stand up for a moment here – demand that this stop, and work to defeat every single politician we can who proposes higher taxes in a recession, proposes pork-barrel projects while people are losing their homes, proposes that Big Union and Big Corporation get our money.

We’re heading for catastrophe here (and don’t even get me started on foreign and defense policy), and only we, the people, can stop it.
