Yes it was individuals that attended these parties, not only those employed but possibly also many of those like myself that are recently unemployed due to the awful economic climate we are currently going through. Hey yeah I am a smoker and so if I were to smoke one pack a day (I have cut back) I just got a tax increase of $233.60 per year enacted as one of the first things this administration did and I did make less than $250K.

I suspect as more people get layed off or lose their job or even take a cut in pay or hours more will become involved in this “grassroot” effort, especially when they realize that the 95 percent will not pay another single penny in higher taxes is the Farce that it is. It lost George Bush an election and I hope the same is true in this case.

Not to mention the completely unfair tax of inflation which is hidden but shows up in increased costs of everyday living. Also the so called “cap and trade” which is a tax on anything that produces carbon (which just about everything does). This is not necessarily a direct tax but the results are the same and worse than that they will be immediately apparent when you get you energy bill each month.
