The Problem: Taxation Without Genuine Representation
Successful and hard working Americans are being forced to pay through the nose for the mistakes of others and for a massive new social agenda that is antithetical to America's work ethic. The party in power is no longer representing the interests of the individuals and small businesses who make this country successful.
The Protest: Make Your Voice Heard
Right now, a growing number of "Tea Party" protests are taking place throughout America. However as a hard-working individual, professional or small-business person you may find it impossible to join the protests in person. You can still make your voice heard however, with one simple action. .
What are we protesting, exactly?
There are so many things that could be protested that it is hard to settle on any single one. Here's a partial list of some candidate issues. Choose the ones that matter to you, and write to your representative about them.
X Forced bailout of mortgages for those who made bad or risky investment choices by those who were more careful.
X Massive federal spending on government social programs that are likely to become entrenched interests.
X Increasing taxes on small businesses and their owners, who are the engine of the economy.
X Massive deficit spending that will take many generations to recover from.
X Ineffective throwing of hundreds of billions at financial institutions with no discernable positive result.
X Reduction of tax breaks for home mortgages and charitable contributions.
X Not allowing details of "spendulous" plans to be seen, read and comprehended prior to a vote.
X Massive "Cap and Tax" on the same kind of air molecules that we breathe out every few seconds.
X Wealth transfer that discourages industry and promotes laziness.
X Lack of concern for the trillions of dollars of personal savings that is being lost in the stock market.
