Tomorrow is tax day around the country. Here, in California, especially with the tax increases contained in the February big budget/big taxes/open primary deal, we are amongst the most taxed people in America.
Across the nation, frustrated Americans, concerned with the ever-growing portion of their hard earned money that is going to feed government at every level, are joining together in tea bag rallies. Back in the days when the British government ruled the American colonies with an iron fist, colonists protested the Crown’s high tax on tea by dumping a lot of it into Boston Harbor – at the famous Boston Tea Party of 1773.
Here in California there are over sixty separate Tea Parties planned and if you are fed up with your high taxes, I would encourage you to go to the nearest rally. You can see a list of all of the statewide Tea Parties, with contact information here.

So what, exactly, is it that the people who participate in these “tea parties” hope to accomplish?

Hey Bob, what exactly did Sam Adams and the Sons of Liberty hope to accomplish at that first Tea Party in December 1773?
BTW Bob, you love taxes and want to increase everyone’s taxes, are you going to be a leader and voluntarily send in a little extra tomorrow… put your money where your mouth is.

What they intend to accomplish, Bob, is to do what their elected so-called leaders won’t do, establish and send a clear message against unjust taxation to fund a bloated bureaucracy.
