John Galt files his 1040: Tax Day Tea Party
Last week’s Tea Party protests won’t be the last. In case you missed your chance to attend, there are plans for a Tax Day Tea Party:
The Tax Day Tea Party is a national collaborative grassroots effort organized by Smart Girl Politics, Top Conservatives on Twitter, the DontGo Movement and many other online groups/coalitions.
The Tea Party protests, in their current form, began in early 2009 when Rick Santelli, the On Air Editor for CNBC, set out on a rant to expose the bankrupt liberal agenda of the White House Administration and Congress. Specifically, the flawed “Stimulus Bill” and pork filled budget.
During Rick’s rant (see video below), he called for a “Chicago tea Party” where advocates of the free-market system could join in a protest against out of control government spending.
A few days later, grassroots activists and average Joe Americans began organizing what would soon become the Nationwide Chicago Tea Party effort.
On February 27th, an estimated 30,000 Americans took to the street in 40+ cities accross the country in the first nationwide “Tea Party” protest.
Organizers of the February 27th events pledged to continue on with an even bigger and better protest to follow the first. With April 15th being “Tax Day”, it was decided to schedule the second round of Tea Party protests to ride alongside the tax deadline.
And with that, the “Tax Day Tea Party”, the second round of the Nationwide Tea Party protests, moved into reality.
I’ve never been one for protests. But I can’t just stand by and allow my country to be “rebuilt” into a replica of Cuba or the Soviet Union.
It’s time to stand up against $850 billion in wasteful spending ($308 billion of which is pure pork).
It’s time to stand up against $3.45 trillion in taxpayer-funded bailouts of private companies who deserve to fail.
It’s time to end this headlong charge to expand government and create expensive new entitlement programs. Even President Obama admits the $634 billion price tag for his socialized medicine scheme is just a “down payment.” But more important than the cost is the fact that this Marxist plan to take over America’s health care industry will ensure more dependence on government while abridging personal liberty.
It’s time to make your voice heard, too. Find out if there’s a Tax Day Tea Party in your city. If there isn’t, then organize one yourself! Michelle Malkin has more info on how to “Go Galt”, plus lots of footage from Tea Party protests around the country.
