Modern tea parties on April 15th mimic Boston Tea Party

This is history repeating itself. Americans across the country have had enough of taxing us for government mistakes and greed. Who will the government tax when the middle and upper class have no more to spare?

God Bless all who are standing up for their rights to protest what is happening in OUR country. Our freedoms are slowly being taken away from us in every possible way. We vote our leaders in to work for us, not the other way around. Just look at your paycheck, your monthly bills, your real estate taxes and you will see just how much you are working for the government. Taxes upon taxes with no reason other than the government can impose them on hard working Americans.

Too many "experts" out there spend to much time devising ways to double talk Americans.

Bills were passed to protect her source of income, by making sure the employees of this company have little rights and receive minimum pay. She wants all Americans to be "the same.". No rewards for hard work, determination, and creativity. Doling out a couple of dollars here and there to us and promising to bring down "corporations" for their evil ways. Yes, many corporations did not do the right thing, yet, many government officials are involved in these corporations. Why? To help them get elected.

Al Gore, who in his mind only, has taken on global warming. Yet, you only have to look at his home, his car, his jet, and his lavish lifestyle to see that what
