The Salem tea party, an estimated 3200 people turned out for the event to protest everything from increased taxes to illegal aliens with signs and guest speakers, to include Sen. Jason Atkinson, who also announced that he would be running for governor again pointed out at the rally that they [government] wanted to tax his well water.
Democrats have proposed tax increases on beer and cigarettes, as well as higher fees on drivers and an increase in the $10 minimum tax paid by corporations. But House Majority Leader Mary Nolan, D-Portland, said most Oregonians realize they need to pay for decent schools, good roads and health services.
Some people at the rally suggested that law makers be required to take drug tests.
[maybe, I would think that you would have to be on drugs to suggest a tax increase in a recession.]
"I'm tired of the Republicans and the Democrats spending away our country and trashing it, trying to turn it into a socialist country," said Rob Farrell, and out of work truck driver.
However as I have been saying for a long time, the government does not live in the same world as the rest of us, and feels that we are all wealthy and selfish with our money, and it is their sole job to find ways to take it from us.
Here's an idea, if you want to keep people in their homes, create jobs and INCREASE TAX REVENUE, start by lowering taxes and put the money back in to circulation! DUH!
however do they [the government] get it? yeah, they get it, but don't care.
they feel that this was just a one day event of people letting off steam and things will go back to normal and we the people will crawl back in to our little [obedient] routines.
just another day.
