Just an update on the Tax DayTea Parties scheduled for next week. I am planning to attend the one in Rhode Island, which will be held 3 pm to 6 pm on the City Side Steps of the State Capitol. There are tea parties in Massachusetts in Boston, Lowell, Hyannis, Worcester, Pittsfield, and Springfield. Click on the Massachusetts Tea Parties link to find out the hours and exact locations of the tea parties. The basic message of the tea parties is very clear:
repeal the pork, cut taxes and cut spending
Posters need to reflect that basic message. This is not a Republican/Democrat thing--this is a survival of the middle class issue. We are rapidly appoaching a point in our tax system where 50 per cent of the population does not pay taxes--they have no interest in controlling spending--their interest is in getting as much from the government as they can. Unless we stop the slide toward people who produce being overtaxed to support the nonproducers, we will lose our producers.
