The people holding such signs are using their own voices and do not speak for others.

Can't see that? Take off the blinders.

So, even if I disagree with the sign, i can still agree with the message. No more taxes!
If you pay no taxes the contry will not continue to exist. You can't run your household without paying your debts. Taxes are the only method the government has of paying its debts.

If we don't pay, at least the interest, China will foreclose, and I have heard they own @ 8-10% of this country due to the loans taken out by Bush for money to **** away in Iraq.

Do you have an alternate plan for debt retirement?

I want to take my country back from those corporations and elitists who are designing failure and will do everything in their power to succeed in their plan. They are non-partisan. They LOVE the people who posted on this thread who blame Obama and liberals. Why? Because they are directing their rage at the wrong target.

Obama's ideas could work but won't because they are promises made by a puppet. The puppetmasters know what words to put into his mouth, but they have no intention of following through. With Bush, it was obvious they wanted to make America the enemy of the world and they succeeded. How is that not just as destructive as destroying the middle class or creating high unemployment?

You idiots keep blaming one "side" and you're going to end up killing each other while the real criminals stand in the background, grinning at the ease of their victory.

Finally!

What about those signs spoke to taxes?

Yet the Tea Party did nothing to discourage those signs until their little express got to Illinois in April 2010. (Link posted in previous thread)

Take it back from the radical, truly alien and other administration (like no other this country has ever seen), those trying to transform her in their radical leftist ideology.

Still can't figure out who in the heck you're talking about. President Obama is center/right in his governance.

I wish we could elect a left-winger for a change.

I don't get it.

Rand Paul said this. I think he meant take it back from:

-Corrupt politicians and the lobbyists
-The Military Industrial Complex
-The Big Pharma Oligopoly
-The Banking Cartel
-The Corrupt media
-The Tri-lateral commission
-Bilderberg *
-The IMF and Federal Reserve (also heads banking cartel)

should I keep going? You need to get out more or do some research into alternative media...check out Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!
