There is nothing wrong with a peaceful gathering of people gathering together to protest. I work for a living and have earned everything that I have. I have not asked for help from my neighbor or from our government. I pay my taxes like the law has instructed me to do. I however have a problem with people who seem to think that everyone that works should not complain when BIG government steps in and says: We are going to distribute your paycheck because your neighbor does not want to work and you do. If my neighbor needs help, I will be the first one to offer it, however, if you want help because your lazy, want more gold teeth, or be able to get your nails done every two weeks, yes I have a huge problem with that. My grandmother used to say, If you don’t work, then you don’t eat. I believe in that philosophy. As long as your needs are met, then your wants is not everyone else’s responsibility. As far as protesting on government property…….as long as you pay your taxes then you have paid to protest on that property. Those of you that are upset at people who protest are the same ones (as a majority) with their hands held out asking for people to support your lazy, no-good-for-nothing selves…………Pathetic.

Didn’t Jimmy Carter complete the Republican plan to give back the Panama Canal? Didn’t Bush “1″ set up NAFTA for Clinton to finish? Didn’t Bush “2″ introduce the “Stimulus” bill that was completed by Obama? The political party governing this country is the “American Congress of Lords”.

Until we (the taxpayers) regain control; we will work and they will rule. America has been “Peasantized”.

All the belivers of the current administration will continue to find fault with anything we “nay sayers” say, or better yet what we type! usually in the form of pointing out grammer, spelling or other simple mistakes humans make. all of this, is in fact, a way to divert attention from the real issues being addressed. no matter how bad I spell, or How “not Good” my grammer be, I know when a fox is in the hen house. Mr. Obama’s wife said herself “Obama’s Home country of Kenya” how can someone who is not even American really know what is in my best interest? How can he even be president? This fleecing of the American people goes past 1600 Penn. ave, we need to hold our senators and congressmen responsible as well. it was already said, most of them are hold overs from past administrations any way. time to clean house and get some new blood in washington!

I have attended Tea Party protests, and I protested the spending of the Bush Administration, who, along with a Democratically Controlled Congress spent money fater than they could print it, leaving the country in a deep deficit when President Bush left office. Yes, he damaged our nation’s wealth and our children’s inheritance. Congress did too. And along comes 0bama and triples that deficit. With largely the same people in Congress that helped Mr Bush rob our future, and our children’s future. I wrote my concerns and strong objections to both the Bush and the 0bama Whitehouse, and to our Senators and Congressman Miller. I even resigned my job over it in the face of certain promotion. Those that say “Where were they when Bush was in office?” – I was doing the right thing then, and I’m doing the right thing now. You don’t get out of a ditch by driving it into the ravine. You get out of it by doing the opposite of what you did to get in it…even if you have to get out, get a shovel and get to work. Speaking of ‘work’ – Government doesn’t create jobs, it only siphons off wealth from taxpayers. Businesses create wealth, and taxation destroys wealth. When the Government gets out of the way of Free Enterprise, then our Economy will begin to recover – and new jobs will be created. Adding more taxes to the highest tax rate on the planet is only driving business from our shores. Socialism (in the form of “progressive taxation”) destroys Free Enterprise. Think people, think!

I say FIRE THEM ALL! The Democrats refuse to work with the Republicans. The Republicans have slammed the door too. What our incumbents do with the time they have had in the Senate & House? Spend Money!
Bush gave money to the banks, Obama gave money to the banks. Both bailed out wall street. No one is looking out for the little man. I pay enough taxes. I do not want to pay more taxes. Tax my payroll check, tax my home, tax my car, tax my car tag, tax my every purchase, especially the gasoline I put in my car. Tax my phone, tax my electricity, tax my earned interest, etc……..
Oh and I pay state income tax too. You live OR work in Alabama and you PAY. So, what percentage of our income are we really paying in taxes? And they want more!
We have to tighten our belts and spend less, cut back on all our expenses when hard times hit. Government should do the same.
Create more jobs and more people will be paying more in taxes, and more people will have insurance available through an employer. Cant buy insurance if you don’t have a JOB.
