Saw only one "Tea Bagger" out there today in Woodinville. I really had no idea that so many rich white folks have been being taxed without any form of representation for all these years! It's about time somebody stood up for them!

What we really need is some sort of Democracy or something where everybody who wants to vote is allowed to vote, and then whatever ideas get the most votes would be the ones we go with UNLESS, of course, the majority of the people who vote end up proving just how stupid they are by voting in favor of something that I don't agree with. because then I would be being taxed without representation! Except for, y'know, the way that I voted and all.

WHEN WILL IT END?!?!?

Indeed.

And I love the alterna-term of "tea baggers"!

The Tea Party Protests around the country today are not supposed to be about taxation without representation, but rather how our representation is taxing us. The government is committing us to a national debt that will either bankrupt the country or burden our great great grandkids with such massive taxes the economy will again collapse. When the government prints money out of thin air (as it has done to the tune of trillions this year) it feeds the economy in the short term but leads to crippling inflation in future years. There is a reason that when our grandparents were kids things were so cheap and now they are so expensive.

So I admire the woman's spirit, but think she should have researched her outrage a bit more before putting sniffy pen to cardboard.

OMGOMGOMG!

Passing through downtown, we saw a group of them at Westlake.. man, some of the signs were priceless..lol. The irony of someone holding a 'Taxation without Representation' on a town square paid for by tax dollars is completely lost on them. ONE guy was in the crowd holding a sign that said "Theses People are Stupid", which of course totally made my day.
