  • This pretty much showed ignorance the minute they mentioned members of ACORN "infiltrating" these gatherings. And to me this just shows they have no real idea what ACORN is an no I would not be considered a liberal. I'm just not ignorant.

  • TO ALL WHO ARE IGNORANT regarding the tea parties:

    The movement is a protest against the growth of the government and its subtle encroachment on the liberties guaranteed to the citizen by the constitution of the United States.

    The subtle, quiet encroachment occurs on the financial plane (heavy taxes, fees, tariffs, etc.); the legal plane (attempts to ban arms, ignoring the second amendment) and the social plane (intolerance and oppression of peoples' diverse beliefs)

  • Were exactly are you beliefs being oppressed, or shown intolerance. I didn't hear of the police arresting anyone at these parties. And I haven't heard anything about weapons bans. I did see the "governor" of Pennsylvania talk about assault weapons bans after the three cops were killed by the guy who "heard" Obama was going to outlaw guns. But I did see a bunch of ignorant and blatantly racist signs directed at the President. Were were these mas protest when bush was running up the debt?

  • Canada has sales tax as well

  • these bums are protesting the fact that Obama won the election. their taxes are actually lower now but their trainers have incited the sheep to protest nothing. they are already starting the process for the next elections

  • You are wrong. Both republicans and democrats are protesting because of the TAXES.

  • The FED has caused this and will eventually lead to the destruction of the dollar. You will see.

  • The taxes going toward the fascist bailouts from Bush and Obama.

  • What taxes are these protest about?

  • the protests are for less taxes and to promote fair tax which is were you only get taxed if you buy things. So when you work you will not have taxes on your paycheck which is fair for everyone

  • Funny, I thought the tea parties was all about being over taxed now and the climbing debt, illiegal immigration, stem cell research, abortion and every other hot button issue on the right. The fair tax wouldn't be fair at all. The mega rich don't shop, or wouldn't shop in the US, off to Canada and Mexico for them.

  • It's not neccesarily completely about the taxes... it's HOW the government is spending the taxes. Take California. The state is 42 billion in debt, but residents are being taxed out the booty. Where is all the money going? Not to the schools, not to the roads... The tea parties are about FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY, on the GOP side, the DEM side, and the citizen's side.

  • This wasn't about the State you lived in. If it were it would have been organized in California, for California. It was a orchestrated movement by the very powers that put us in this mess and promoted by the Fox News channel. How could you not see this?

  • I could be wrong, but I remember reading when all this first started that many of the states had bond, retirement funds, etc invested in funds that were tied to those derivative investments of mortgages.
