There are always a few oddballs out there like us.<BR/><BR/>OH and rich people.

I find that sometimes I don't know what to say.<BR/><BR/>Mrs. D and Dianne, I do think sooner or later, SOMEBODY is going to have to pay for the stimulus bill and/or nationalized health care. I simply don't see enough really rich people out there unable to play shell games with their money and hide it from the government. :]<BR/><BR/>I guess on the surface, families like ours benefit greatly. But I just don't think it's morally right to borrow money you can't repay as a nation. It's dishonest.<BR/><BR/>Though I would like to hear other suggestions, too, Dianne. I have a sneaking suspicion that what might have to happen is a restructuring of our economy... a painful process in which more of us learn to live within our means... which means less stuff being bought... which means fewer jobs...<BR/><BR/>Sigh.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-51523632692593815942009-03-05T13:36:00.000-06:002009-03-05T13:36:00.000-06:00I tried finding more information but it really see...I tried finding more information but it really seems like nothing more than a loosely organized group of people who like to Twitter and found each other on Facebook.<BR/><BR/>They're not even clear on what they're protesting - and they certainly don't have any alternate suggestions. Just lots of media buzz words. <BR/><BR/>Unless someone is making a quarter of a million dollars or more their taxes are not going up, they might even lessen - I don't understand why people don't want to get that.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946500110072411468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-21107849259221151442009-03-05T11:41:00.000-06:002009-03-05T11:41:00.000-06:00Ok, I know it has to do with the Boston Tea Party,...Ok, I know it has to do with the Boston Tea Party, but when I think of that...<BR/><BR/>I keep thinking of the fact that they STOLE the tea while disguised themselves as Indians.<BR/><BR/>It just isn't the same if you have tea companies sponsoring the event and no one is disguised. :]Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-32103431506689751422009-03-05T11:12:00.000-06:002009-03-05T11:12:00.000-06:00Thats what I was going to say too-its a play on th...Thats what I was going to say too-its a play on the old Boston Tea Party!

It's supposed to be a grassroots protest of the massive spending spree going on in Washington and the inevitable higher taxes it will mean for us ALL, no matter how Pres. Obama is trying to sell it. Like the Boston Tea Party? Get it?<BR/><BR/>I don't object to these people's right to protest what's happening. (Have you read my blog?) But the reality is that elections have consequences and what we are witnessing now is the consequence of electing a Marxist to the Presidency. Yes, I said a Marxist. And I'm not backing down from it!<BR/><BR/>And Mrs. C, by the way, your prayers for the President really help me.
