Today the TEA parties all over the U. S. put on a TEA party. TEA by the way stands for Taxed Enough Already and they are protesting all the new taxes the Obama administration have imposed on us. But, when you ask any of them, "Which of those 'NEW' taxes are you talking about?" They can't give you an answer because there has been none. In fact 95% of all the people in the U. S. are paying less taxes this year than they have paid in decades and the others are paying about the same as before.

Now you might or might not want to go to one of these "Media" web sites so if those displease you, try this one from The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities" at:

There they explain that even the highest income families pay less than they have in a long time because of the Bush Tax cuts which will expire soon.
So don't let the TEA party extremists confuse you. They are not a grass roots group. Most of them are funded and lead by Freedom Works and Dick Armey or the AFP group. AFP stands for Americans for Prosperity. Now you must understand it is not your prosperity they are looking out for, it is their own, and that of the big corporations which fund them. But . . . they need to confuse you so you will vote the way they want you to. The reason for the confusion is that if you knew the truth you would never vote their way because if you knew the truth you would realize that your own good is at stake. If you knew the truth you would realize that they want you to vote against your own best interests.
I never have understood why people would continue to follow those who continue to lie to them. Death Panels, killing Grandma, you go to jail if you don't get health insurance, you're being taxed too much, Obama is a Muslim and he wasn't born in the U. S. and isn't an American Citizen, are just a few . . . I could go on and on and on . . .
So, with that I'll wish you all a happy tax day! Glad your Federal Taxes have gone down.
Don't forget to stop following those that have lied to you, they don't have your best interest at heart.
