Tax Day Woes and Scares

We all love Tax Day, yes? Well, 50% of us do, the other 50% of us pay taxes and find little to cheer about on April 15.

I wonder if everyone had a pleasant surprise like we did.

Weren’t we told about a year ago that our taxes would go down? Weren’t we told that we should have less deducted from each check?

Well, here we are, paying more taxes than last year! Good show that we didn’t reduce our deductions. We had to pay in plenty, anyway!

I’m thinking if many people were recipients of the kind of tax surprise we had, the Tea Parties on the 15th should be drawing record crowds!

Of course, they’ll probably be booming anyway, since a number of liberals are trying to organize to attend. Mostly the Tea Movement has been drawing Conservatives, you know, so a few Libs should help swell the crowds!

One Lib named Levin apparently even posted a web site trying to recruit liberals to disrupt the Tea Parties, and he says they have leaders in several states to organize the Lib protesters.

This kind of behavior certainly draws everyone’s attention and many are thinking, “Those Tea Party people must be on to something, if they are that much of a threat to the Libs. Especially since the Libs hold all the political power positions in DC. Maybe I should check it out.”

Can’t the Libs can’t come up with good counter arguments? Are disruption and attempts at smearing their only courses? How can they publicly call for people to go, pose as legitimate Tea Conservatives, and behave abominably and still expect thinking people to condemn the TP Movement? Do they think the media will blame the Tea Party Movement and convince J.Q. Public?

Anyway this type of behavior is scary stuff, ‘cause when Libs go out to protest, they are not well-behaved; they are destructive, throwing bricks and stuff.

Of course, that’s better than what they did back in the days of Ayers – then they threw bombs.

Still someone could get hurt.

One tea party organizer said the attempt to destroy the movement was evidence that the tea party message is resonating.

"We've been ignored, we've been ridiculed. Well, now they're coming after us," said Judy Pepenella, a co-coordinator for the New York State Tea Party."Gandhi's quote is one we understand: 'First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.'"

  1. We had a surprise like that too! I wonder if more people had surprises like that if they would get more upset about taxes. We paid more in taxes (with social security) than I earned last year!
