TEA....ANYONE?

Yes, America we have finally said to hell with it all and we’ve taken it all the way to the White house’s front door steps, well as close as we could get to the fence before being tear gassed by secret service.

Tens of thousands of Americans had tea on their minds, but it wasn’t Lipton’s ice tea they were thirsty for. Protestors across the country came out to express their outrage with government spending in bail outs, tax increases, and the stimulus bill.

The motive for the outraged protest seems clear to me that Americans are tea’d up: T.E.A. taxed enough already, and feed up with the Bull ish. Well at least some people.

Organizers said they wanted to channel the Boston’s Tea Party rebellion and what better way to get the word across than Facebook and Twitter? That’s right both social networks went full fledge in helping people to voice their opinions and sparked a national tea party.

Good move, whoever came up with the idea.

It wasn’t all fun and games, some protestors were so upset they threw a box of tea bags over the fence at the White House. I guess it would have been symbolic but the secret service weren’t feeling like tea.

What is the answer to this tax anxiety that has reached its climax?

President Obama not breaking a sweat came up with the idea of making a simpler tax code.
My suggestion is he should think about breaking it down for fifth graders to read, being that a lot of people didn’t graduate high school and it could be one reason why people pay tax prepares to handle their taxes.

Not saying those who did not graduate high school can’t read it’s just harder to understand.

President Obama vows to rewrite the tax code and simplify it, so that you can avoid dreading April 15, making taxes quicker, easier, and less expensive for you to file a return.

I support President Obama and he made a good point "For too long, we've seen taxes used as a wedge to scare people into supporting policies that increased the burden on working people instead of helping them live their dreams," Obama said. "That has to change, and that's the work that we've begun."

Well Mr. President you better make some more changes for the better soon, or next time instead of a tea party ---someone might become a real rebel and throw some hot eggs & grits in the fountain and that wouldn’t be nice.
