  • jletts2, the only difference with this protest was there were alot of dems. and independents protesting also not just repub.

    People are coming to life and realising that Obama is doing the same as Bush, bailouts and spending

    In 6 months 2 presidents have spent in bailouts and spending ($12 trillion) of are money. China hates us now, thats why they (the fed) keeps printing the money up. The point is Americans are fed up with all spending from both (repubs. & dems.)

  • Wow. CBS did a great job of articulating what this event was about. Nice work.

  • Legalize cannabis...That's a good start.

  • Obama was elected on a pledge not to raise taxes on those earning less than $250k/yr. But his very first official act as president was to sign the SCHIP tax increase of over 2,000% on the poorest of the poor - smokers too poor to buy cigarettes who roll their own from shreds of loose tobacco and scraps of paper.

    A tax increase of that magnitude on one of the poorest well-defined minorities in America is a crime.

  • No body here but some leftists, until me.

    Today more than 1,000,000 people went to the streets to protest the spending for programs America doesn't need and doesn't want. The media and the President pretty much ignored these protests. More than 600 of them across the country.

    Now what? What next? Is this just a one time demonstration. Obama and company hope it is.

    No. I will relentlessly work to replace those politicians who do not represent me. Phone, email, fax, snail mail, and camp on doors.

  • You got it, Tamarlane!

  • i would hope they would ignore these protest i mean why should anyone take these retards seriously?

    the people at these "grass roots" protest had posters calling obama hitler or calling for his murder and yet these were the same people who when the left did the same to bush got all pissed off. ]

    its people like this that are realy makin me start to hate america. not the idea of america just the gov't and the people

  • At the tea party I was at there was not one sign calling Obama Hitler or a Nazi. In fact, he was barely even mentioned.

  • Why should these people be ignored? Are you saying that only certain people with that hold your opinion have the right to be heard? There are always more than one side to every story. These were peaceful rallies by law abiding citizens. Last I checked, that was still part of the constitution. Thank CBS for actual unbiased reporting. Unfortunately we cant say that for CNN.

  • no these people should be ignored because they dont even know what they are protesting about. if its about deficit spending where were they under reagan and bush? they only reason they held these protest is because they dont want obama as president no other reason

  • wow you are dumb. obama's communistic ways are scaring the hell out of people. people who should be ignored are the one's who don't even pay taxes. they are a drain to society and a reason for the deficit.

  • "obama's communistic ways are scaring the hell out of people."

    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahaha

  • wow you have a very scary defeatist attitude that should be outlawed in america! protesting is so american as baseball is! read a book it will help you learn real info from trivial!

  • "read a book it will help you learn real info from trivial!"

    ???

    im just being realistic. i never said theres anything wrong with protesting (as long as people understand what they are talking about).

    i mean these people werent protesting about how Reagan and Bush set record deficits which leads me to believe they only care because hes a democrat. which is whats wrong with America people only care about their own party

  • First, they were protesting the Bush tax code, because tax policy takes a year to change in this country.

    Second, the protest at the Boston Tea Party was much more complex then people just being "fed up." It was the "buy English" rules and the fact that they taxes were going to England, not helping abroad, that they were protesting.

    It's also worth pointing out here that the colonists paid less severe taxes then their homeland counterparts.

  • that means that more than 1 in every 5 of the dollars you are paying to the IRS will be going to the Pentagon.

  • Jesse Ventura and Ron Paul - 2012

  • Where you in Madison Lingerfoot?

    We were in Boston

  • Madison? I live in New York, and what is Madison? Jesse Ventura and Ron Paul - 2012

  • Hey Lingerfoot, the Madison Tea party was held outside the Wisconsin state capitol building

    more than 5000 people were there

  • The banks are weak, they don't want to lend money.

    Even with the current US budget predicted to hit a record of $3.5 trillion, thanks to a whooping $800 billion, 2 yr economic stimulus package and with several hundred billions being poured into a group of banks and this bottomless pit called AIG,the 800 billion budgeted for the military to date-a figure that includes $85 billion supplemental request for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan represents 22% of total us spending -

  • The protests began with bloggers in Seattle, Wash who organized a demonstration on Feb 16- As word of this spread, rallies spread in Denver and Mesa, Ariz. quickly organized for the next day.

    Now, it is spreading everywhere,

  • CBS you DO HAVE IT WRONG!

    Changes to our CONSTUTITION & changes to the TAX CODE the past 8 YRS (Bush) & changes in the TAX CODE by (Obama) in the last 4 MONTHS.

    This is why AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE MAD AS HELL.

    Even the guy who wrote the tax code CAN'T PAY HIS TAXES

    (CHARLIE REIGNEL)

    Even the guy who is in charge of the I.R.S. CAN'T PAY HIS TAXES & CAN'T FIQURE OUT THE TAX CODE

    (TIM GIETHNER)

    Face it CBS Obama & his congress are FAILING & IT IS THE SAME CRAP IN D.C.

  • CBS you too have it WRONG! We Americans do not mind paying our taxes. But what we do mind is.

    1: Taxation without representation!

    2: 13 TRILLION DOLLAR Bail OUT where 98% of American Tax Dollars went to Foreign Off Shore Banks!! Not America

    3: 26 TRILLION DOLLARS to be spent over the next 5 years. WE DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS, This Out OF CONTROL GOVERNMENT is STEALING OUR Grandchildrens Future!

    4: Major Law and Changes to our CONSTUTITION WITHOUT our VOICE of APROVAL!

    America is mad as hell

  • Jesse Ventura and Ron Paul - 2012
