CNN, MSNBC and the other big news networks passed off the “Tax Day Tea Parties” as nothing to be too concerned with. The New York Times called the people attending such parties “idiots”. Here’s CNN’s “fair reporting”:
MSNBC took it a step further:
Seriously? So it’s idiotic to be concerned with where your hard earned tax dollars are going? It’s idiotic to send a message to your government that you are fed up with pork spending?
I went to one of these Tea Parties and I was greeted by polite people who care about their country. Granted, some of these people got pretty worked up during the rally but is that really so wrong? When you give a homeless person some money and they spend it on beer, is it wrong to be annoyed? How about when you give your government a few trillion dollars and they literally flush it down the toilet? I think the statement that rang true for many people today was “Enough is enough” and “NO MORE SPENDING!” We simply don’t have any plan whatsoever for paying this money back. Last I checked, this means we probably shouldn’t be spending anythng extra.
