Lansing, MI Tax Day Tea Party

April 15, 2009

Lansing, Michigan

MSP Estimates between 4,000 and 5,000 Michiganders came together on the steps of the state Capitol to say "enough is enough."

And to boo the Granholm-Cherry administration.

RightMichigan.com was there to capture all of the action... or at least a lot of it!

I am disgusted with how the alphabet soup news networks have portrayed these protests. Anyone with half a brain can watch these videos and see these are not right wing wackos or extremists or rednecks. Look America, these are AMERICANS exercising their freedom to demonstrate their frustration with Fedzilla. Americans wanting a say in where their money is going and how much is STOLEN from them on so many levels. God bless this country and may we take back our liberty by assembling in this manner!

It's already begun.

Love to all.

This Tea Party is THE ENEMY OF THE AMERICAN WORKING CLASS.

It makes sense to want to lower taxes and excess spending.

But you didnt ask for ONE TINY CRUMB back from the TAXLOOPHOLES and CORRUPTION and ENORMOUS WEALTH of CORPORATE ELITES.

BofA and GE paid no federal taxes in 2010.

Halliburton has 13 Taxfree Orgs in the Cayman Islands.

And YOU take Your KNIFE to the AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS.

Romney said "Corporations are people".

You guys are a GLOBAL JOKE!!!

Debbie: "I'm scared, I'm mad, ... I'm just really afraid."

This, I fear, is just another way of using fear to start a "movement," which really ends up just being a popularity contest. It's WONDERFUL that people are protesting, but I wish they'd take an equal amount of energy spent here and go out in their own communities. Make a POSITIVE difference. If you want to restore America to it's "former glory," then fight for what you believe in, not only against what upsets you.

I've got a much better, more liberal idea: why don't we raise taxes, solve the problems, then keep the taxes and hire more bureaucrats and give the politicians raises for the "great" work they do.

I hope the state legislature raises the state income tax. It is at 4.35%, quite low. We have a budget problem, raise the taxes and then lower them when things get better. Make the income tax progressive while your at it as well.

I was there. I took the day off from work to attend this. I met this guy there that was so racist he gave me a ride to my car because I parked on MLK. lol. but seriously. I felt safer here than I did at Omars down the street from there around midnight.

Good Job!

[PaintballOwnager]

im guessing you spoke out about the hundreds of anti-bush protests?

[EichmannLiebe]

No taxation without representation!!!

...oh wait...

[mercywarren1728]

You really need to read/watch more than the left liberal news. Point #1: You would be amazed at how many people involved with these protests VOTED for your beloved Obama! Point #2: Get involved and you will see that is is about more than "just taxes" - heck pay attention to what the people are saying on this video! Oh, and by the way, my taxes did not go down, glad yours did! Also, do you know how to identify a left loon liberal? They can not pose a thought without using extreme profanity!

All these people are a bunch of sore losers who still can't get over the fact that Obama won. Hell most people's taxes went down under Obama, fcking dumbasses.
