Happy Tax Day !?!?!?What a memorable tax day. Today I spent much of the day on the Boston Common, just below the steps of the old State House. It was here that an anti-tax rally occured.
Here's why I went: I find myself not defining my views anymore as Democrat or Republican, but as a capitalist...one who believes in a free -market society based on capitalism. Although it's a long story and many may be prone to say that capitalism is what got us into this mess, I can clearly and firmly rebuff those notions. I believe that it is/was an unethical/illegal congress, current and past presidents and CEO's that have sold out our country and caused a monumental collapse in our monetary system.
To now put our trust in these people, and to have them spend trillions and trillions (12 times over) of our dollars to "fix" a spending problem is crazy. The solution is to create jobs through lower taxes, make politicians, CEO's and other accountable - even to the point of business failure or especially getting voted out of office.
So, I went to Boston to try and send a message that it is time for Change. It's time to stop destroying our monetary system by spending money we don't have.
Emily and my sister joined me for the outing. We heard some good speeches that addressed both the national and state issues that we are currently facing. Emily was so excited to go she wanted her own sign:
Best sign of the day: "Stop spending my future"
Worst sign of the day: "I can stimulate myself" - I stayed far away from him!!!

I am with you on this one. It is scary to see what is happening!
Excellent! Great comments Gary. Returning the country to the people is critical. Now we just need to re-educate the people on how these old principles are to be applied in the real world. I took my son Mark to our town meeting here in Utah. He came away very interested and learned a lot about politics. I really like your daughter's sign. Great message!
Love it! My dad went to one in Troy as well. The one here got rained out:(
