When we’re protesting higher taxes we’re right wing wacko zealots. When it’s ACORN trying to fleece the tax rolls for free stuff, it’s called community organizing. Or am I wrong.

Tax Day Tea Party? Hypocrites! Where were you when W spent $10Bn / month on the failed Iraq War? Mission Accomplished? What mission – transferring US Treasury to Dick Cheney’s Pocket, that’s what. Where were you when W stripped regulatory powers away that permitted Wall Street Fat Cats – all Republicans – to get us into this mess – where were you? Where were you in ’08, when the economy tanked, and the Bailout started – we didn’t see your protests then, did we? No, so get back in line, and pay your taxes, and if there’s a handout you’ll be needing, call up Dick Cheney, maybe Karl Rove has the number?

While they do not have the right to do this outright, there are certain paths they can take to get this goal. Come on, you know this is possible because this is the same country which gives exceptions to tax cheats through cleaver legal
maneuvers.

Really it is just using the legal system creatively.

Texas probably has the best chance at success. Here is just one way how it can work. The annexation agreement made when Texas joined the union provided that Texas would be able to divide into 5 states. This would create 8 more conservative Senators.

If Texas were to try to divide and be rebuffed, the US would be in violation of the agreement and Texas should be able to go free.

It is not all that far fetched. More here (also see pics from tea party):

I was at the OKC protest – much fun ensued. ‘Twas my first protest, won’t be my last. You can see a quick vid of the crowd as seen from the steps on my blog, conveniently posted here:

The graph showing the difference between the CBO andd the Presidents Office concerning the budget deficit is scary. We are being shown a picture of our fiscal future that is far rosier than the reality. The question is how can we change this? Support politicians that are ready to eliminate govt. spending immediately. Peter Schiff is being drafted for Senate and believes in the minimization of govt.

Hey dude — maybe Obama should close his deficit the way the conservative GW Bush did. you know, by just leaving little things like wars and economic rescue plans off the budget!
