I attended my very first protest rally. I’m 50. I was a little too young to protest the establishment, in favor of flower power in the 1960’s and I actually thought that Saddam Hussein needed to get his butt kicked, so no protesting there. However, today, I felt very strongly and despite my migraine, I went out with Hubby and we protested.
What The Tea Parties (Taxed Enough Already-Protests) Are About.
It’s about spending — too much spending, to be specific. Too much taxing. The idea that a business is too big to fail is anti-American; we’ve always been for the underdog, but why should we be bailing out AIG or GM or Ford, etc.?
It’s about putting my family — my children and grandchildren — under $12.8 trillion in debt; all it took was two presidents and six months.
It’s about power — too much power going to federal government.
It’s about corruption — too much corruption, in both parties.
So we went to the State Capital and stood with our fellow New Hampshire-ites to protest the craziness in Washington. I don’t think it matters if you are a Republican or a Democrat.
Today I was an American, who was fed up with what my government is doing, and because I still live in a free country, I protested!
I love my country, but right now, I am not happy with the way it is being run. Come on people, you can do better than this!
Tomorrow is the big day! Can’t wait for the news! What time is the appointment with the vet!?
Love you lots,
Mandy
My hubby went to the tea party here in OKC. I’ve been thinking about you all day long, I can’t wait to hear the news tomorrow!!!
Hey, do you remember Debbie from Fruity Spirit? When I came back from my blogging hiatus her site was gone. Do you know where she went?
I very well understand your protest. No doubt upon that.
Here we have 25% VAT, 13% on food. Average income tax between 32-51%. That’s only the beginning.
I say no more.
