In Chicago, I did see a kid in a Revolutionary costume. Full wig and puffy shirt-fake British accent.
To keep momentum, I would suggest sending the White House a tea bag. Enclose a tea bag with your tax return. Mail a tea bag to your legislators-state and federal. Someone somewhere will say something, and the press will have to cover it. Inevitably, the Obama stimulus package will go the way of all stimulus packages. It essentially will be a waste of money. In economics parlance, the multiplier effect on GDP will be less than 1.
Adam Smith’s classical economics always works better, and in the long run will always win out. Even the Soviet Union had a vibrant black market despite central planning and government control of everything.
SEND MORE TEA BAGS. Symbolism works.
