Tea Time On Tax Day

Tour buses that ferried tourists out of the Cherry Blossom festival will bring crowds back in to the capital for the Tea Party Express rally at the Washington Monument Thursday -- the day our income taxes are due and the epitome of government taxing.

Rally officials hope President Barack Obama's administration will hear their appeals as the 7-9:30 p.m. event is a stone's throw from the White House. A press conference is planned for 9 a.m. with a "People's Tax Revolt" to follow at 11 a.m. at Freedom Plaza.

"The Tea Party isn't really a political party," said photojournalist David Lent, who shot a feature news story for Austrian Television on the Tea Party Movement. "It's a voice to the voiceless of people drawn together to express their fear of big government taxing and spending, anti-health care reform and a desire to return to the ideals of the of era of Ronald Reagan."

Sounds like the Republican party to me. Which is all well and fine, but trying to paint yourself as something separate is disingenuous.

Also note, a majority of you paid less in taxes this year, Obama's projected deficits are largely due to tax cuts, and we all know that Reagan ran up deficits. People will say, "well Reagan was fighting the cold war". Well we're fighting 2 hot wars right now.
