That's so weird coming from THE wealthiest american welfare state. Free money in alaska folks--- $3,000 + bucks for breathing! We'll relocate the statue of liberty at the port of valdez, along with one way tickets for the sum population of free lunch seekers in america. Problem solved?

JimJ I had addressed what you consider are your real issues, but you responded to the ones you consider irrelevant. This is a symptom actively displayed in crowds and blogs throughout. Tea baggers distracted and coming across as confused/ displaying irrelevance actively. Please focus.

Candy varies from 1¢ to 3¢
Gasoline 47¢/gal.
Batteries varies by size 3¢ to 12¢ per cell
Bottled water 0.5¢/fl.oz.
Then we can talk about the proposed tax on healthcare plans and the reduction/elimination of deductions like charitable giving or reviving the death tax.
Think about reality, they just spent how many trillion $$$$? How do you think that'll get paid back without raising taxes?
Oh, we'll just raise taxes on business and corporations and remove those pesky tax deductions right? As has been said many,many times before when you raise taxes on business and corporations THEY don't pay it, WE do with the increased cost of goods.
Again, all this spending has to be paid for somehow so who exactly do you think is going to pay for it or do you think a tax fairy is going to come by and take care of it?

The problem is many on the left boil it down to a "you hate Obama" if you complain thing but I am not saying that.
I fully blame congress for this mess and Obama needs to learn how to use the veto stamp soon.
Still waiting...

Obviously the poor people, college students, and welfare crowds that were so common at Obama rallies were not at a TAX rally, as none of these groups pays any taxes. So yes, I'll bet there weren't many shoeless bums at these rallies complaining about taxes.

Well you don't know other peoples kids so how can you criticize them for bringing their children out to experience the American political system?

I proudly attended a Tea Party on April 15th. My wife, two children of mine and two grandchildren also attended. We hope to attend more...

They are celebrations of Free Speech.

However, they sure have Obama-Lovers upset for some reason.

Well good for you. ....just don't get the idea that you are in the majority....and don't whine about "secession" when you don't get your way.

This is a Democracy. If you don't like the Government's policies go win an election.
