The Tea Party protests are not about taxes. They are a protest of profligate speending and expansion of Federal govt power. The Tea Party’s are a celebration of our Constitution, and our Founders principles, and a call on our lawmakers to respect these institutions and stop the downward slide to Socialism (started long ago I will add). It is time for Americans to wake up and see the big picture. We need to think long term. As it is now, our children and grandchildren will become serfs to the state just to pay back all the govt. debt we are accumulating. According to the CBO, the US has over $65 Trillion in committments. This is based on current figures, and does not include new programs such as nationalized healthcare and free college educations.
