Today, John Galt files his 1040: it's the Tax Day Tea Party! Over 500 separate demonstrations in all 50 states, where taxpayers are outraged at the irresponsible spending and the unAmerican direction in which this new Obama administration is taking our country in just the first 100 days.
The media is reporting that President Obama is "unaware" of today's Tea Party protests. Umm, yeah, right. The largest taxpayer protest in American history, carried out by supposedly dangerous right wing extremists, and the President of the United States wants us to believe he has no idea what's going on? How stupid does he think we are? Wait, don't answer that...52% percent of Americans fall squarely within his assumption. Perhaps His Highness thinks we should all eat cake?
Just a few months ago, he was saying "They sent us here to usher in a new era of responsibility in Washington -- to start living within our means again, and being straight with them about where their tax dollars are going, and empowering them with the information they need to hold all of us, their representatives, accountable." But today, he's not only forcing America to live outside our means, he's unaware that we're unhappy with his feckless plan. And to think, liberals used to call President George W. Bush clueless!
The growing outrage over Obama's harebrained Democrat-led plan is precisely why he took to the airwaves yesterday, to pander to Americans about how he wants to tear down America and rebuild it on the shifting sand of socialism. Ponies and rainbows for everyone who'll jump on the bandwagon! But today, he's pretending he doesn't know what's going on. I wonder if he's got his fingers in his ears, saying "la la la la, can't hear you, can't hear you!"
Maybe Obama will notice what's going on in cities like Cincinnati, OH...
...and Denver, CO...
...and Landsing, MI...
...and Nashville, TN...
...and Oklahoma City, OK...
...and Tulsa, OK...
...and here in Dallas, TX, where events were also scheduled in the metro areas of Arlington, Burleson, Carrollton, Denton, Fort Worth, Frisco, Hurst, McKinney, Plano, Richardson, Rockwall, Sherman, Farmersville, Rowlett, Midlothian, Southlake, and Weatherford.
Meanwhile, CNN displays their bias by sending out openly contemptuous reporters who are not there to report the news but to sanctimoniously grill conservative protesters and shamelessly recite Obama talking points.
Neal Boortz has a great idea which epitomizes the very reason why so many people are beginning to get fed up with the government and its confiscatory tax policy:
Since today is the deadline for filing your taxes, walk up to a coworker and ask them how much income tax they paid for 2008. They won't know. There may be a few exceptions. VERY few. For the most part you're going to get some idiotic answer like "I didn't have to pay anything! I'm getting some back!" This is just exactly the way the government wants it. The whole idea of withholding was created to hide how much of your money the government takes out of your paycheck.Don't just express your anger today at government spending and dishonest taxes. Stay angry. Keep holding your elected representatives responsible for their ill-conceived plans. And check out better ideas like the Fair Tax.
Here's a Tea Party invite from "Thomas Paine" (Bob Basso)...
