Taxpayer Tea Party in NH (Manchester, Rochester: 2009, how much, tax)

[seamusnh]

OK. I pay more in a month than this person pays all year. Social Security and Medicare do not count as Federal Income Taxes as those are retirement and health care plans that people pay for while working and get after they retire.

Will definatly be heading to the tea party,It is so sad what is happening to our country. If people like Greg think socialism is better than capitalism then he should go live in a different country and not try to change Our Country..

I know...but they are part of the total federal income deductions from the individuals paycheck and I needed to subtract them out to get my income tax math correct; that's why they are listed.

America didn't become a great country because of socialism- nor did it become great due to capitalism- it became great because it's people were free and not burdened with endless governemtn interference, which socialism thrives on.

Famous socialists- Stalin, Mao, Lenion, Hitler, Che, Castro, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi....

Famous Capitalists- Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Thomas Edison, Mark Twain, Will Rogers, the guy who invented the Pet Rock...


Ours would be a LOT more fun to have over to a cook out.

Socialism leads to control. Leads to statism. Leads to slavery.

Gary Dahl invented the pet rock. Today he'd be reviled as a typical evil businessman that needs to be taxed more....

apparently the tea party is backfiring and is costing taxpayers BIG $$$$.


Local reports indicate that the practice of mailing actual tea bags to legislators has repeatedly raised security concerns, and sometimes forced the evacuation of congressional offices in anthrax-like scares.

in Manchester, N.H., a hazmat team descended on the office of U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter after employees opened an envelope marked "tax protest" and found a bunch of tea leaves.

In Boulder, Colo., the district office of U.S. Rep. Jared Polis recently called for help after a lumpy white envelope with no return address arrived in the mail. The Boulder County Hazardous Materials Response Team found a tea bag and a note reading "We the People, 1773."

the office of Rep. George Radanovich in Modesto, Calif., was evacuated "after an intern in the mailroom came upon a suspicious package that was later found to contain tea." A haz-mat team and the FBI were were called in.

About 20 people from the building, including those in the congressman's office and two mortgage firms, were evacuated as a precaution.

Sending in scanned images and empty tea bags is flooding the postal system.


These tea bag party tax "protesters" are doing nothing but costing taxpayers more money.

way to go!!

Yeah, I had worried about that. You can't just mail random substances unsealed through the mail. As harmless as tea is- there really is no way to prove that its "tea" without testing it; it would not be hard to mix a harmless & harmful substance together to try and skirt security...

"hahaha- its just tea"...and then some people die because somone was crazy.

It seems to me the better way to partake in a "tea party" would simply be to go to one, and send normal letters through the mail.

can someone tell me if they are having a tea party at the concord state house?
